ABSTRACT:
An EEPROM transistor fabricated with a single polysilicon layer. An MOS transistor is fabricated with a subsurface electrode region defined by a stripe in a first direction. A layer of thin oxide is arranged in a second stripe, perpendicular to the first stripe and a polysilicon layer, arranged in a third stripe is disposed over the second stripe of thin oxide. An adjoining parallel plate capacitor is formed by a subsurface region of the same conductivity type as the subsurface electrodes in the first stripe. An insulative second plate of thin oxide is joined to the second stripe and a third plate of the capacitor is formed by a polysilicon plate over the oxide plate. Vertical metallization stripes in the first direction may contact with some components, while parallel metal stripes in a second layer in a perpendicular direction may contact with the remaining members. The stripe geometry allows lateral and vertical four-way symmetry for implementation of a large number of memory storage cells on a chip or wafer.
