METHOD OF OPERATING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT EMBEDDED WITH NON-VOLATILE PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY HAVING VARIABLE COUPLING RELATED APPLICATION DATA |
摘要 |
A programmable non-volatile device is operated with a floating gate that functions as a FET gate that overlaps a portion of a source/drain region and allows for variable coupling through geometry and/or biasing conditions. This allows a programming voltage for the device to be imparted to the floating gate through variable capacitive coupling, thus changing the state of the device. Multi-state embodiments are also possible. The invention can be used in environments such as data encryption, reference trimming, manufacturing ID, security ID, and many other applications.
