Patent ID: 10797064

Abstract:
A non-volatile memory cell includes a floating-gate transistor, a select transistor, and a coupling structure. The floating-gate transistor is deposited in a P-well and includes a gate terminal coupled to a floating gate which is a first polysilicon layer, a drain terminal coupled to a bit line, and a source terminal coupled to a first node. The select transistor is deposited in the P-well and includes a gate terminal coupled to a select gate which is coupled to a word line, a drain terminal coupled to the first node, and a source terminal coupled to the source line. The floating-gate transistor and the select transistor are N-type transistors. The coupling structure is formed by extending the first polysilicon layer to overlap a control gate, in which the control gate is a P-type doped region in an N-well and the control gate is coupled to a control line.
