we know that the maximal ideals of ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ are of the form $(p, f(x))$ where $p$ is a prime number and $f(x)$ is a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ which is irreducible modulo $p$.

Is it true that:

the maximal ideals of ${\mathbb Z}[x,y]$ are of the form $(p, f(x,y),g(x,y)$$(p, f(x,y),g(x,y))$ where $p$ is a prime number and $f(x,y), g(x,y)$ are polynomials in ${\mathbb Z}[x,y]$ which are irreducible modulo $p$.

Maximal ideals of Z[x,y]
