Abstract

A three-dimensional NAND-based NOR nonvolatile memory cell has two three-dimensional SONOS-type charge-retaining transistors arranged in a series string such that one of the charge-retaining transistors functions as a select gate transistor to prevent leakage current through the charge-retaining transistors when the charge-retaining transistors is not selected for determining a data state of the three-dimensional NAND-based NOR nonvolatile memory cell. The first charge retaining transistor's drain is connected to a bit line parallel to the charge retaining transistors and the second charge retaining transistor's source is connected to a source line and is parallel to the bit line. The three-dimensional NAND-based NOR nonvolatile memory cell may be reconfigured to function as a PLD cell, an FPGA switching cell, and an EEPROM cell
