Abstract
A non-volatile memory cell includes a selection transistor having an insulated selection gate embedded in a semiconducting substrate region. A semiconducting source region contacts a lower part of the insulated selection gate. A state transistor includes a floating gate having an insulated part embedded in the substrate region above an upper part of the insulated selection gate, a semiconducting drain region, and a control gate insulated from the floating gate and located partially above the floating gate. The source region, the drain region, the substrate region, and the control gate are individually polarizable.
