Abstract:
A memory device is described. Generally, the device includes a string of memory transistors, a source select transistor coupled to a first end of the string of memory transistor and a drain select transistor coupled to a second end of the string of memory transistor. Each memory transistor includes a gate electrode formed adjacent to a charge trapping layer and there is neither a source nor a drain junction between adjacent pairs of memory transistors or between the memory transistors and source select transistor or drain select transistor. In one embodiment, the memory transistors are spaced apart from adjacent memory transistors and the source select transistor and drain select transistor, such that channels are formed therebetween based on a gate fringing effect associated with the memory transistors. Other embodiments are also described.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein the source select transistor and its neighboring memory transistor are formed close to each other such that a first channel is formed between the source select transistor and the neighboring memory transistor based on a gate fringing effect associated with the source select transistor and the neighboring memory transistor.
