  • Structure and method for narrowing voltage threshold distribution in non-volatile memories
    Patent number: 8988940
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a memory array of macro cells. Each macro cell comprises a storage element and a calibration element. The storage element and its corresponding calibration element are part of a common memory array within an integrated circuit, and therefore, are in close proximity to each other. The calibration element may store a parameter used to modify the threshold voltage of the storage element.
    Type: Grant
