Abstract:
A method of performing an operation on a non-volatile memory (NVM) cell of a memory device is disclosed. The pass transistor of the NVM cell is an asymmetric transistor including a source with a halo implant. The source of the pass transistor is coupled to a common source line (CSL) that is shared among NVM cells of a sector of NVM cells. The operation may be performed by applying a first signal to a word line (WLS) coupled to a gate of a memory transistor of the NVM cell and applying a second signal to a bit line (BL) coupled to a drain of the memory transistor of the NVM cell.

Claim (Index 31):
A method of manufacturing a memory device, comprising:\n forming a gate of a first pass transistor of a first non-volatile memory (NVM) cell and a gate of a second pass transistor of a second NVM cell; forming a single, contiguous shared source adjacent to and between the gate of the first pass transistor and the gate of the second pass transistor, and forming drains adjacent to the gates of the first and second pass transistors on opposite sides from the shared source; masking the drains adjacent to the gates of the first and the second pass transistors; and performing a halo implant implanting dopants around the shared source to form asymmetric first and second pass transistors.
