Abstract
A method of fabricating an EPROM cell by forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate, forming a first insulating layer over the surface of the substrate, and the sidewalls and bottom of the trench, forming individual polycrystalline silicon layers on the sidewalls of the trench, implanting a dopant into the substrate in the bottom of, and regions adjacent, the trench, forming a second insulating layer over the polycrystalline silicon layers, forming a control gate over the polycrystalline silicon layers and an electrical contact to the bottom of the trench.
