Abstract
Embodiments of a multi-time programmable (MTP) structure for non-volatile memory cells are presented. The memory cell includes an ultra-thin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. A transistor having a floating gate is disposed on the SOI substrate. The transistor comprises first and second source/drain (S/D) regions disposed adjacent to sides of the floating gate. A control capacitor having a control gate is disposed on the SOI substrate. The control gate is directly coupled to the floating gate. A device well is disposed in the base substrate and underlaps the floating gate and the control gate. A capacitor back-gate is embedded within the base substrate and in electrical communication with the control gate. A contact region is disposed within the device well.
