Abstract:
A memory device includes a memory array arranged in rows and columns. The memory array may have at least four non-volatile memory (NVM) cells coupled in the same column of the memory array, in which each NVM cell may include a memory gate. The first and second NVM cells of the at least four NVM cells may share a first source region, and the third and fourth NVM cells may share a second source region. The memory gates of the first and second NVM cells may not be electrically coupled with one another, and the first and second source regions may not be electrically coupled with one another. Each of the first and second source regions may be electrically coupled with at least another source region of the same column in the memory array.

Claim (Index 31):
A memory array, comprising:\n non-volatile memory (NVM) cells, each including a memory gate and a select gate, arranged in rows and columns, wherein, two adjacent NVM cells of a same column that share a source region form an NVM pair, wherein the source region is disposed between memory gates of the two adjacent NVM cells, and wherein multiple NVM pairs are coupled to one another in the same column, at least two memory gates of NVM cells of a same row share memory gate line, at least two source regions of NVM cells of the same share a source line; and source line connection routing configured to provide multiple common electrical nodes, wherein each of the multiple common electrical node is shared among multiple source lines of a same source line group, and wherein the multiple source lines in the same source line group are not physically adjacent to one another.
