Abstract
An electrically programmable read only memory device which has efficiency of electron injection from channel to floating gate is provided. This memory cell includes a control gate and floating gate between source and drain regions. The region under the floating gate has extremely small enhanced mode channel and N region. Therefore, this channel is completely depleted by the program drain voltage. The enhanced mode channel region is precisely defined by the side wall spacer technique. Also, the N drain region is accurately defined by the difference of side wall polysilicon gate and the first spacer.
