Abstract:
A single-poly electrically erasable/programmable CMOS logic memory cell for mobile applications includes a CMOS inverter that share a single polysilicon floating gate, and an enhanced control capacitor including a control gate capacitor and an optional isolated P-well (IPW) capacitor formed below the control gate capacitor. The control gate capacitor includes a polysilicon control gate that is interdigitated with the floating gate and serves as a capacitor plate to induce Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) injection or Band-to-Band Tunneling (BBT) to both program and erase the floating gate. The IPW capacitor is provided in the otherwise unused space below the control gate capacitor by a IPW that is separated from the control/floating gates by a dielectric layer and is electrically connected to the control gate. Both F-N injection and BBT program/erase are performed at 5V or less.
