Patent
Nonvolatile memory and method of making same
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of discharging a charge storage location of a transistor of a nonvolatile memory includes applying first and second voltages to a control gate and a well region, respectively, of the transistor.
Patent
Split gate memory cell and method therefor
TL;DR: In this article, a split gate memory cell has a select gate, a control gate, and a charge storage structure, which can be programmed by hot carrier injection operation and can be erased by tunneling operation.

Craig T. Swift,Jane A. Yater,Alexander B. Hoefler,Ko-Min Chang,Erwin J. Prinz,Bruce L. Morton +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nonvolatile memory having a thin film dielectric storage element is programmed by hot carrier injection (HCI) and erased by tunneling, and the typical structure for the memory cells for this type of memory is silicon, oxide, nitride, oxide and silicon (SONOS).
Patent
Silicided nonvolatile memory and method of making same
TL;DR: In this paper, a memory device is formed on a semiconductor substrate and a select gate electrode and a control gate electrode are formed adjacent to one another, and one of either the select gate or the control gate electrodes is recessed with respect to the other.
