Abstract

An electronic device can include discontinuous storage elements (64) that lie within a trench (22, 23). The electronic device can include a substrate including a trench that includes a wall and a bottom and extends from a primary surface of the substrate (12). The electronic device can also include discontinuous storage elements, wherein a portion of the discontinuous storage elements lies at least within the trench. The electronic device can further include a first gate electrode, wherein at least a part of the portion of the discontinuous storage elements lies between the first gate electrode and the wall of the trench. The electronic device can still further include a second gate electrode overlying the first gate electrode and the primary surface of the substrate.
