Patent ID: 7008846

Claim:
A non-volatile memory cell comprising: a substantially single crystalline semiconductive material of a first conductivity type; a first region of a second conductivity type, different from said first conductivity type in said material; a second region of said second conductivity type in said material, spaced apart from said first region; a channel region, having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, connecting said first and second regions for the conduction of charges; a first dielectric adjacent to said channel region; a second dielectric adjacent to said first region; a third dielectric adjacent to said second region; a first floating gate adjacent to said first dielectric spaced apart from said first portion of said channel region, formed as a spacer, contiguous with and immediately adjacent to said second dielectric; a second floating gate adjacent to said first dielectric, spaced apart from said third portion of said channel region, formed as a spacer, contiguous with and immediately adjacent to said third dielectric; and a gate electrode capacitively coupled to said first floating gate, and said second floating gate, and spaced apart from said second portion of said channel region, said second portion of said channel region between said first portion and said third portion.
