A method for manufacturing a multiple-gate memory cell which comprises a semiconductor body and a plurality of gates arranged in series and the semiconductor body includes first forming a plurality of gates spaced apart by about a gate width, forming an isolation layer on the sidewalls, and filling between the first plurality of gates to form a second plurality of gates. A charge storage structure is formed on the semiconductor body beneath each of all or some of the gates in the plurality of gates. Circuitry is formed to conduct source and drain bias voltages to the semiconductor body near a first gate and a last gate in the series, and circuitry to conduct gate bias voltages to the plurality of gates is included. The multiple-gate memory cell includes a continuous, multiple-gate channel region beneath the plurality of gates in the series, with charge storage locations between some or all of the gates.
