Abstract
The present invention provides a non-volatile memory device, including a source region and a drain region, a channel region, a floating gate, an enhance hot carrier (hole or electron) injection gate and an erasing gate. The floating gate is disposed on the channel region and the source region and a first dielectric layer is disposed therebetween. The enhance hot carrier injection gate is disposed on the floating gate and the substrate wherein the enhance hot carrier injection gate has an L-shape cross-section. A second dielectric layer is disposed between the enhance hot carrier injection gate and the floating gate, and a fourth dielectric layer is disposed between the enhance hot carrier injection gate and the substrate. The erasing gate is disposed on the drain region. A third dielectric layer is disposed between the erasing gate and the substrate.
