Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007131117A1] A semiconductor device may include a semiconductor substrate (21) and at least one non- volatile memory cell. The at least one memory cell may include spaced apart source and drain regions (26,27), and a superlattice channel (25) including a plurality of stacked groups of layers on the semiconductor substrate between the source and drain regions. Each group of layers of the superlattice channel may include a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion and an energy band-modifying layer thereon, which may include at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions. A floating gate (37) may be adjacent the superlattice channel, and a control gate (39) may be adjacent the second gate (38) insulating layer.
