Abstract

Structures for a non-volatile memory bit cell and methods of forming a structure for a non-volatile memory bit cell. A field-effect transistor has a channel region and a first gate electrode positioned over the channel region. A capacitor includes a second gate electrode that is coupled to the first gate electrode to define a floating gate. The first gate electrode has a non-rectangular shape.
