Abstract :
A multilevel storage technology with resolution approaching 8-bits is developed for storing analog signals directly into a memory array of source-side injection flash EEPROM. This is achieved by devising a read and programming scheme, by optimizing a memory cell layout, and by integrating mixed-mode capabilities into the base digital flash process
