Non-Volatile memory cell and fabrication method.

摘要

In one embodiment, a non-volatile memory cell structure 10 comprises heavily doped source 11 and drain 12 regions formed in the surface of a semiconductor substrate 8 and separated by a channel region 21. A floating gate 13 is formed over and insulated from the channel region 21 and a control gate 14 is formed over and insulated from the floating gate 13. A lightly doped region 20 is formed in the channel 21 beneath the floating gate 13 and adjoining the source region 11. The lightly doped region 20 is spaced from the surface of said substrate 8. Other embodiments and processes are also disclosed. <IMAGE>
