Abstract
In a memory cell array, each memory cell includes a control gate disposed laterally adjacent a floating gate. The memory cells in each memory column are disposed inside a single well. The control gate and the floating gate are disposed between two diffusion regions. Each memory cell may be erased and programmed by applying a combination of voltages to the diffusion regions, the control gate, and the well.
