Abstract: A memory transistor for a non-volatile memory cell includes a source region and a drain region implanted in a semiconductor substrate. The source region is spaced from the drain region. A double gate region for the memory transistor extends at least partly in depth in the semiconductor substrate between the source region and the drain region and further extends beyond this source region and this drain region. The memory cell further includes a selection transistor having a gate region that partially extends over the double gate region for the memory transistor.

Abstract: An EEPROM includes a floating gate transistor having a source region, a channel region and a drain region. A first capa implant zone on a drain-side of the floating gate transistor has a first dopant concentration level. A second capa implant zone in the first capa implant zone adjacent the drain region has a second dopant concentration level that is greater than the first dopant concentration level. A gate oxide region insulates the floating gate electrode from the channel region, first capa implant zone and second capa implant zone. A thickness of the gate oxide region is thinner at the second capa implant zone than at the channel region and first capa implant zone.
