Abstract:
A split gate NVM device includes a semiconductor substrate, an ONO structure disposed on the semiconductor substrate, a first gate electrode disposed on the ONO structure, a second gate electrode disposed on the semiconductor substrate, adjacent to and insulated from the first gate electrode and the ONO structure, a first doping region with a first conductivity formed in the semiconductor substrate and adjacent to the ONO structure, a second doping region with the first conductivity formed in the semiconductor substrate and adjacent to the second gate electrode, and a third doping region with the first conductivity formed in the semiconductor substrate, disposed between the first doping region and the second doping region and adjacent to the ONO structure and the second gate electrode.
