Abstract

The present invention is a multibit nonvolatile memory and its method of fabrication. According to the present invention a silicon channel body having a first and second channel surface is formed. A charge storage medium is formed adjacent to the first channel surface and a second charge storage medium is formed adjacent to the second channel surface. A first control gate is formed adjacent to the first charge storage medium adjacent to the first channel surface and a second control gate is formed adjacent to the second charge storage medium adjacent to the second surface.
