Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell that includes a semiconductor substrate, a well region implanted with a first-type dopant formed in the semiconductor substrate, a first doped region implanted with a second-type dopant formed in the semiconductor substrate, a second doped region, formed spaced-apart from the first doped region, implanted with a second-type dopant formed in the semiconductor substrate, the second doped region further including a third region implanted with the first-type dopant, a first dielectric layer disposed over the semiconductor substrate, a floating gate disposed over the first dielectric layer and extending over the well region and a portion of the second doped region, a second dielectric layer disposed over the floating gate, and a control gate disposed over the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.
