Abstract

Floating gates of a floating gate memory array have an inverted-T shape in both the bit line direction and the word line direction. Floating gates are formed using an etch stop layer that separates two polysilicon layers that form floating gates. Word lines extend over floating gates in one example, and word lines extend between floating gates in another example.
