An array of floating gate memory cells, and a method of making same, where each
pair of memory cells includes a pair of trenches formed into a surface of a semiconductor
substrate, with a strip of the substrate disposed therebetween, a source region
formed in the substrate strip, a pair of drain regions, a pair of channel regions
each extending between the source region and one of the drain regions, a pair of
floating gates each disposed in one of the trenches, and a pair of control gates.
Each channel region has a first portion disposed in the substrate strip and extending
along one of the trenches, a second portion extending underneath the one trench,
a third portion extending along the one trench, and a fourth portion extending
along the substrate surface and under one of the control gates.
