Title:
NON-VOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY CELL HAVING GATE ELECTRODE ON SIDEWALL OF GATE ELECTRODE PART
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1992/016020
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A non-volatile semiconductor memory cell which has a gate electrode part (11) such that a floating gate (5), a second insulating film (6) and a control gate electrode (7) are formed in this order on a first conductive type semiconductor substrate (1). Further, a side part insulating film (8) is formed on the sidewall of the gate electrode part (11), and on the film (8) a sidewall gate electrode (10) insulated from the substrate (1) by a third insulating film (9). In the memory cell having such a constitution, according to this invention, the ratio (C1/C2) of the capacitance C1 between the floating and control electrodes to the capacitance C2 between the floating and sidewall gate electrodes is made to be (C1/C2) > 4, for transferring the potential of the control gate electrode to the floating gate electrode effectively.
