Single poly EEPROM with reduced area and method of making same

An EEPROM (100) comprises a source region (122), a drain region (120); and a polysilicon layer (110). The polysilicon layer (110) comprises a floating gate comprising at least one polysilicon finger (112A-112E) operatively coupling the source region (122) and drain region (120) and a control gate co...

Zusammenfassung:An EEPROM (100) comprises a source region (122), a drain region (120); and a polysilicon layer (110). The polysilicon layer (110) comprises a floating gate comprising at least one polysilicon finger (112A-112E) operatively coupling the source region (122) and drain region (120) and a control gate comprising at least one of the polysilicon fingers (112A-112E) capacitively coupled to the floating gate. The EEPROM (100) has a substantially reduce area compared to prior art EEPROM since an n-well region is eliminated.
