A process for forming an electronic device can include forming a first
trench within a substrate, wherein the trench includes a wall and a
bottom and extends from a primary surface of the substrate. The process
can also include forming discontinuous storage elements and forming a
first gate electrode within the trench such that, a first discontinuous
storage element of the discontinuous storage elements lies between the
first gate electrode and the wall of the trench. The process can further
include removing the discontinuous storage elements that overlie the
primary surface of the substrate. The process can still further include
forming a second gate electrode that overlies the first gate electrode
and the primary surface of the substrate.
