  • Nonvolatile reprogrammable interconnect cell with FN tunneling in sense
    Patent number: 5838040
    Abstract: Disclosed is a FPGA cell and array structure which use FN tunneling for program and erase. Each cell comprises a switch floating gate field effect transistor and a sense floating gate field effect transistor with the floating gates being common and the control gates being common. Programming of a cell is effected by voltage biasing the common control gate line and the source/drains of the sense transistor.
