Abstract
A device including a drain, a channel, a floating gate, and a control gate. The channel surrounds the drain and has a channel area. The floating gate includes an active floating gate region that has an active floating gate region area. The control gate is coupled to the active floating gate region via a control capacitance, wherein the active floating gate region area is smaller than the channel area.
