Abstract
A flash NAND electronic memory device includes non-volatile cells having a high integration density and a relative programming method. The memory device is integrated on a semiconductor substrate and includes a matrix with word lines and bit lines organized in sectors of memory cells. The memory device is between the cells of the opposite word lines belonging to at least one of the sectors of the matrix. A lateral coating along the direction of the bit lines has at least one conductive layer with a contact terminal being selectively biased or left floating during each program, read or erase operation. Each cell belongs to a sector.
