  • Abstract
    A new Flash Electrically Erasable-PROM cell with single transistor per bit as same as conventional UV-EPROM(1) (2) and suitable for 256K bit F-E2PROM with rather conservative 2.0µm design rule is described. The cell is programmed by a channel hot carrier injection mechanism similar to EPROM. The contents of all memory cells are simultaneously erased by using field emission of electrons from a floating gate to an erase gate in a flash. The F-E2PROM cell with single transistor per bit consists of three layers of polysilicon with select transistor. (3) (4) (5) Programming is 10msec per bit as same as UV-EPROM. Good erasing characteristics is obtained with 550Å of oxide thickness between floating gate and erase gate.
