Source side injection non-volatile memory cell

摘要

A source side injection non-volatile memory cell is provided that comprises a floating gate and control gate stack (12) disposed outwardly from a channel region (26) formed on an (n-)-substrate (10). Drain region (32) and source region (30) are formed on opposite sides of stack structure (12). Source side injection of hot electrons occurs between source region (30) and floating gate (18) when relatively low voltages are placed on gate conductor (22).
