Abstract

See full text

The invention can include at least one storage cell having a store gate structure formed from a semiconductor material doped to a first conductivity type and in contact with a channel region comprising a semiconductor material doped to a second conductivity type. A storage cell can also include at least a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region separated from one another by the channel region. A control gate structure, comprising a semiconductor layer doped to the first conductivity type can be formed over a substrate surface. The control gate structure can be in contact with the channel region. Such a storage cell can be more compact and/or provide longer data retention times than conventional storage cells, such as many conventional dynamic random access memory (DRAM) type cells.
