ABSTRACT:
A flash memory cell. A heavily doped region with the opposite polarity of the drain region is formed between the channel region and the drain region. The heavily doped region is in a bar shape extending towards both the drain and the source regions along a side of the floating gate. Furthermore, the reading operation is performed in reverse by applying a zero voltage to the drain region, and a non-zero voltage to the source region.
