Abstract

See full text

A CMOS memory cell including PMOS and NMOS transistors with a common floating gate. The CMOS memory cell includes a first capacitor connecting a first control voltage to the common floating gate and a second tunneling capacitor connected from the common floating gate to the source of the NMOS transistor. The tunneling capacitor includes a tunneling oxide region utilized to charge or discharge the floating gate during program or erase. The CMOS cell further includes a pass transistor with a source to drain path connecting the source of the NMOS transistor to a second control voltage.
