Dual bit isolation scheme for flash devices

摘要

The present invention relates generally to semiconductor memory devices and more particularly to multi-bit flash electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) devices that employ charge trapping within a floating gate to indicate a 0 or 1 bit state. A memory device is provided, according to an aspect of the invention, comprising a floating gate transistor having dual ONO floating gates with an isolation spacer between floating gates. Processes for making the memory device according to the invention are also provided.
