EEPROM CELL WITH TUNNELING ACROSS ENTIRE SEPARATED CHANNELS |
摘要 |
An EEPROM cell is described that is programmed and erased by electron tunneling across an entire portion of separate transistor channels. The EEPROM cell has three transistors formed in a semiconductor substrate. The three transistors are a tunneling transistor (PMOS), a sense transistor (NMOS) and a read transistor (NMOS). Electron tunneling occurs to program the EEPROM cell through a sense tunnel oxide layer having a thickness to allow the electron tunneling across an entire portion of a sense channel upon incurrence of a sufficient voltage potential between a floating gate and the tunnel channel. Electron tunneling also occurs to erase the EEPROM cell through a tunnel oxide layer having a thickness to allow electron tunneling across an entire portion of a tunneling channel upon incurrence of a sufficient voltage potential between the floating gate and the tunneling channel. |
