A nonvolatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, a device
isolation layer, a tunnel insulation layer, a floating gate, a buried
floating gate, and a control gate. A trench is in the substrate that
defines an active region of the substrate adjacent to the trench. A
device isolation layer is on the substrate along the trench. A tunnel
insulation layer is on the active region of the substrate. A floating
gate is on the tunnel insulation layer opposite to the active region of
the substrate. A buried floating gate is on the device isolation layer in
the trench. An intergate dielectric layer is on and extends across the
floating gate and the buried floating gate. A control gate is on the
intergate dielectric layer and extends across the floating gate and the
buried floating gate.
