A memory cell includes a storage transistor having the following structure and being dimensioned to shorten program and erase times. A semiconductor body includes a top surface and a trench formed therein having walls joined by a curved bottom. A source zone in the semiconductor body is doped from the top surface. A drain zone in the semiconductor body is doped from the top surface. Junctions of the source and drain zones are beneath each. A gate electrode on the top surface of the semiconductor body is disposed between the source zone and the drain zone in the trench. A dielectric layer isolates the gate electrode from the semiconductor body and acts as a storage medium. Each of the junctions intersects a respective one of the walls at a respective depth from the bottom. A respective spacing across the trench is defined at each depth.
