  • Patent number: 5986931
    Abstract: P channel EEPROM cells are designed for integration into arrays written with single polarity signals developed from small, low power charge pumps. These cells reduce the additional masking steps that must be added to a CMOS logic process for EEPROM to only one additional step. The novel cells of this invention enable the array to function with a V.sub.PP about 2 V less than that required by an N channel EEPROM cell, with similar writing speed and tunnel oxide thickness.
