Further, the steps 12 and 14 are formed in the substrate 11 before the polysilicon floating gate 16 is formed, so that the capacitance value of the two plate capacitors C11 'C12 is a fixed value within an operating voltage range.

When the M〇s capacitor, the voltage on the VV is close to its threshold voltage, a layer will be formed in the channel, so the equivalent capacitance value of the MOS capacitor will decrease, as in the second step: The equivalent capacitance of the M0S capacitor is variable whether it is used to write, erase or read the operating capacitor Vop. Further, Fig. 4c shows that the structure 'of the capacitor C1 in Fig. i' is composed of a ferrite C1, a p-well layer below it, and an oxygen|b layer 1 therebetween. However, when the voltage on the capacitor_ exceeds a voltage Vt, it will generate a depletion region in the P-well region, so the capacitance of the capacitor will decrease, as shown in the fourth panel. Since the general suppression zone is not heavily doped, the threshold voltage η of the depletion zone will still be within the voltage range of the cell.

INSTRUCTIONS (5) Within the voltage range Vop, the equivalent capacitance of the m〇S capacitor also varies. However, in the present invention, the memory cell system is made fine by using the plate capacitors C11 and C1 2 and the electrodes (1 2, 14) under the plate capacitors C1 1 and c 1 2 are composed of a heavily doped region (N+). As shown in Figure 4e. Since the heavily doped region (11 + ) is used as the electrode under the plate electric valleys C11 and C12, an empty region is generated in the heavily doped region (n+) to cause a change in the capacitance value, and a large negative voltage needs to be applied. At both ends of the board capacitor, this negative voltage Vc will exceed the operating voltage of the memory cell outside the Vop. Therefore, in the operating voltage range \〇P of the memory cell, the capacitance values of the panel capacitors cn and Π2 of the present invention do not change, but maintain a fixed value, as shown in Fig. 4f. Therefore, the capacitance $C1 and the M〇s capacitor mci in the brother cell of the figure i are not in accordance with the plate capacitances cn and Π2 defined in the present invention. In addition, if the voltages of the capacitors C1 and _capacitors in the figure i are within the operating voltage range of the present invention, the size of the capacitors is the same as that of the present invention, and the size of the capacitors is increased.
