Abstract
Some embodiments relate to a memory cell. The memory cell includes a channel layer disposed over a substrate and extended along a vertical direction. A floating gate is disposed over the substrate and separated from the channel layer by a gate dielectric along a first lateral direction. A control gate is disposed on one side of the floating gate and the channel layer along the first lateral direction and separated from the floating gate by a tunnel dielectric. A pair of source/drain terminals is disposed on the other side of the channel layer and the floating gate opposite to the control gate.
