Abstract
A new 45nm Multiple Time Programming (MTP) cell with self-aligned nitride storage node has been proposed for logic NVM applications. The CMOS fully logic compatible cell has been successfully demonstrated in 45nm CMOS technology with an ultra small cell size of 0.14μm 2 . This cell adapting source side injection programming scheme has a wide on/off window and superior program efficiency. And it also exhibits excellent data retention capability even when logic gate oxide is less than 20Å with 45nm gate length. This new cell provides a promising solution for logic NVM beyond 90nm node. © 2007 IEEE.
