  • Non-volatile memory cell and method for manufacturing same
    Patent number: 6232634
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell (81) includes a drain-side select transistor (86), a source-side select transistor (87), and a storage transistor (88). The drain-side select transistor (86) is adjacent to the drain of the storage transistor (88) to prevent drain-disturb events. The source-side select transistor (87) is adjacent to the source of the storage transistor (88) to prevent source-disturb events. The select gate (152) of the drain-side select transistor (86), the select gate (143) of the source-side select transistor (87), and the floating gate (147) of the storage transistor (88) are formed on a dielectric layer (123) having a uniform thickness.
