Abstract

A floating gate transistor has been described that includes source and drain regions that are fabricated on different horizontal planes. A floating gate and a control gate are fabricated vertically to control current conducted through the transistor. The control gate is coupled to a word line that is formed with the control gates and extends in a common horizontal direction.
