EEPROM DEVICE WITH BOTTOM GATE STRUCTURE

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) device comprising at least one EEPROM cell structure. The EEPROM device generally includes a first active region, a second active region, a channel region disposed between the first active region and the second active region, a floating gate structure disposed above the channel region and separated from the channel region by a first dielectric layer, a control gate structure disposed above the floating gate structure and separated from the floating gate structure by a second dielectric layer, and a bottom gate structure disposed below the channel region.
