Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
forming an opening through a first dielectric material, a second dielectric material, and a third dielectric material, the second dielectric material being between the first and third dielectric materials;
forming a first recess in the first dielectric material;
forming a second recess in the third dielectric material;
forming a dielectric material in each of first and second recesses, the dielectric material having a dielectric constant greater than a dielectric constant of silicon dioxide;
removing a portion of the dielectric material and leaving a first remaining portion of the dielectric material in the first recess, and a second remaining portion of the dielectric material in the second recess;
forming a memory element in each of the first and second recesses;
forming a first gate contacting the first remaining portion of the dielectric material; and
forming a second gate contacting the second remaining portion of the dielectric material, wherein forming the memory element in each of the first and second recesses includes:
forming a material in each of the first and second recesses; and
removing a portion of the material and leaving a first remaining portion of the material in the first recess, and a second remaining portion of the material in the second recess, wherein the first remaining portion of the material is part of the first memory element, and the second remaining portion of the material is part of the second memory element.
