Abstract

In this paper, a new embedded OTP bit-cell (Neobit) is presented for one-/multiple-time programming (OTP/MTP) application, which is fabricated by using a generic logic process. Without additional processing or extra fabrication cost, this single-poly NVM can be implemented in various CMOS technologies such as logic, mixed-mode, analog, RF, HV and etc. Due to its easy incorporation with any IC design, this single-poly NVM can be comprehensively used for program storage in micro controllers, device identification in IC cards and network IC, code storage in RFID tag, fuse device in memory redundancy, and RC trimming in analog/RF circuits.
