Abstract

A memory device comprises a substrate including isolation regions and active regions, and a floating gate stack proximate the substrate. The floating gate stack comprises a first high-k dielectric layer proximate the substrate, a first metal layer proximate the first high-k dielectric layer, and a second high-k dielectric layer proximate the first metal layer. The memory device comprises a control gate electrode proximate the floating gate stack.
