The memory cells are non-aligned and are incorporated in a matrix of cells and have associated control circuitry. In additional, to each cell a selection transistor is associated.

Abstract: To increase the facing surface and thus the coupling between the floating gate and control gate regions of a memory cell, the floating gate and control gate regions have a width that is not constant in different section planes parallel to a longitudinal section plane extending through the source and drain regions of the cell. In particular, the width of the floating gate and control gate regions is smallest in the longitudinal section plane and increases linearly in successive parallel section planes moving away from the longitudinal section plane.

Abstract: In a CMOS process for making dual gate transistors with silicide, high-voltage transistors with drain extensions are produced by first defining on a semiconductor substrate, active areas for low-voltage and high-voltage transistors. A gate oxide layer and a layer of polysilicon is deposited over the substrate, which is masked and etched to produce gates for the transistors. A dielectric layer is deposited to produce spacers to the sides of the transistor gate regions, then a mask partially shields the dielectric layer over the junctions of the high-voltage transistors while the spacers are being formed. Finally, the substrate is doped in the gate and active areas of the high-voltage transistor, and in the gate and active areas of the low-voltage transistor, except those areas that are blocked by the spacers.
