Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a floating gate memory cell, including: a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, the SOI substrate including a semiconductor bulk substrate, a buried oxide layer formed on the semiconductor bulk substrate, and a semiconductor layer formed on the buried oxide layer; a memory device, including: a control gate formed in the semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate; an insulating layer formed on the control gate; and a floating gate formed on the insulating layer; and a transistor device electrically connected to the memory device. The transistor device includes an active region formed in the semiconductor layer of the SOI substrate.
