Abstract
A method for manufacturing a nanotube non-volatile memory cell is proposed. The method includes the steps of: forming a source electrode and a drain electrode, forming a nanotube implementing a conduction channel between the source electrode and the drain electrode, forming an insulated floating gate for storing electric charges by passivating conductive nanoparticles with passivation molecules and arranging a disposition of passivated conductive nanoparticles on the nanotube, the conductive nanoparticles being adapted to store the electric charges and being insulated by the passivation molecules from the nanotube, and forming a control gate coupled with the channel.
