Abstract

Various embodiments include apparatuses and electronic devices. One such apparatus can include a first dielectric material and a second dielectric material, and a conductive material between the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material. A charge storage element, such as a floating gate or charge trap, is located between the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material and adjacent to the conductive material. The charge storage element has a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces are substantially separated from the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material, respectively, by a first gap and a second gap. In various embodiments, the gaps are air gaps. Additional apparatuses and methods are disclosed.
