Abstract
A memory cell may include first and second storage transistors. A first capacitor includes a first capacitor active region disposed within a substrate and a capacitor plate comprised of a first floating gate portion of a floating gate. A second capacitor includes a second capacitor active region disposed within the substrate and a capacitor plate comprised of a second floating gate portion of the floating gate. The first storage transistor includes source/drain regions disposed within a bit line write region and a first gate electrode comprised of a third floating gate portion of the floating gate. The second storage transistor includes source/drain regions disposed within a bit line read region and a second gate electrode comprised of a fourth floating gate portion of the floating gate. The bit line read and write regions are offset from one another by a non-zero distance.
