Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003148582A1] The memory cell has a source region and a drain region in semiconductor material and, above a channel region between the source and drain regions, a three-layered layer structure with a storage layer between boundary layers and a gate electrode arranged thereon. The storage layer is replaced above the channel region by an etching layer made of Al2O3. During fabrication, the etching layer is etched out laterally and the second boundary layer is thus undercut. The resulting interspaces are filled with the material of the storage layer. The provision of suitable spacers makes it possible to define the dimensions of the memory cell.
