Abstract

In an embodiment a non-volatile memory cell includes a substrate, a first body in the substrate, a second body in the substrate, a first storage transistor having a first conduction region and a second conduction region in the first body, the first and second conduction regions delimiting a first channel region in the first body, a first control gate region in the second body, an insulating region overlying the substrate, a single floating gate region extending on the substrate and embedded in the insulating region, the single floating gate region having a first portion on the first body and a second portion on the second body, the first portion and second portion being connected and electrically coupled, a first selection via extending through the insulating region and electrically coupling the first conduction region with a first conduction node, a second selection via extending through the insulating region and electrically coupling the second conduction region with a second conduction node and a first control via extending though the insulating region and electrically coupling the first control gate region with a first control node.
