Title:
FLASH MEMORY CELL ON SeOI HAVING SECOND CONTROL GATE EMBEDDED UNDER INSULATING LAYER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011124552
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a memory cell that improves complexity of design of a peripheral circuit and reliability of the cell.

There is provided a flash memory cell 1A consisting of an FET transistor with a floating gate 20 on a semiconductor on-insulator substrate comprising a thin film of semiconductor material separated from a base substrate 5 by an insulating BOX layer, the transistor having, in the thin film, a channel 4. The flash memory cell 1A comprises two control gates, a front control gate 22 being arranged above the floating gate 20 and separated therefrom by an inter-gate dielectric 23 and a back control gate 6 being arranged within the base substrate 5 directly under the insulating BOX layer so as to be separated from the channel 4 only by the insulating BOX layer, the two control gates 22;6 being designed to be used in combination to perform a cell writing operation.
