    Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell includes a substrate of a first conductivity type with first and second spaced apart regions of a second conductivity type, forming a channel region therebetween. A select gate is insulated from and disposed over a first portion of the channel region which is adjacent to the first region. A floating gate is insulated from and disposed over a second portion of the channel region which is adjacent the second region. Metal material is formed in contact with the floating gate. A control gate is insulated from and disposed over the floating gate. An erase gate includes a first portion insulated from and disposed over the second region and is insulated from and disposed laterally adjacent to the floating gate, and a second portion insulated from and laterally adjacent to the control gate and partially extends over and vertically overlaps the floating gate.

    Abstract: A memory device with a memory cell and control circuitry. The memory cell includes source and drain regions formed in a semiconductor substrate, with a channel region extending there between. A floating gate is disposed over a first portion of the channel region for controlling its conductivity. A select gate is disposed over a second portion of the channel region for controlling its conductivity. A control gate is disposed over the floating gate. An erase gate is disposed over the source region and adjacent to the floating gate. The control circuitry is configured to perform a program operation by applying a negative voltage to the erase gate for causing electrons to tunnel from the erase gate to the floating gate, and perform an erase operation by applying a positive voltage to the erase gate for causing electrons to tunnel from the floating gate to the erase gate.

    Abstract: A method of operating a memory cell that comprises first and second regions spaced apart in a substrate with a channel region therebetween, a floating gate disposed over the channel region and the fir region, a control gate disposed over the channel region and laterally adjacent to the floating gate with a portion disposed over the floating gate, and a coupling gate disposed over the first region and laterally adjacent to the floating gate. A method of erasing the memory cell includes applying a positive voltage to the control gate and a negative voltage to the coupling gate. A method of reading the memory cell includes applying positive voltages to the control gate, to the coupling gate, and to one of the first and second regions.
