Structures and methods for NOR flash memory cells, arrays and systems are
provided. The NOR flash memory cell includes a vertical floating gate
transistor extending outwardly from a substrate. The floating gate
transistor having a first source/drain region, a second source/drain
region, a channel region between the first and the second source/drain
regions, a floating gate separated from the channel region by a gate
insulator, and a control gate separated from the floating gate by a gate
dielectric. A sourceline is formed in a trench adjacent to the vertical
floating gate transistor and coupled to the first source/drain region. A
transmission line coupled to the second source/drain region. And, a
wordline is coupled to the control gate perpendicular to the sourceline.
