Unit cells of a non-volatile memory device and a method thereof are
provided. In an example, the unit cell may include a first memory
transistor and a second memory transistor connected to each other in
series and further connected in common to a word line, the first and
second memory transistors including first and second storage nodes,
respectively, the first and second storage nodes configured to execute
concurrent memory operations. In another example, the unit cell may
include a semiconductor substrate in which first and second bit line
regions are defined, first and second storage node layers respectively
formed on the semiconductor substrate between the first and second bit
line regions, a first pass gate electrode formed on the semiconductor
substrate between the first bit line region and the first storage node
layer, a second pass gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate
between the second bit line region and the second storage node layer, a
third pass gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate between
the first and second storage node layers, a third bit line region formed
in a portion of the semiconductor substrate under the third pass gate
electrode and a control gate electrode extending across the first and
second storage node layers. The example unit cells may be implemented
within a non-volatile memory device (e.g., a flash memory device), such
that the non-volatile memory device may include a plurality of example
unit cells.
