Abstract

In this chapter, we focus on the Multiple-Times Programmable (MTP) embedded NVM using basic logic CMOS processes. Several types of floating-gate-based NVMs are discussed, including medium density eNVM based on two-transistor (2T) memory cell, and low density but also low-power three-transistor (3T) memory cell. In the last section, we review the charge trapping-based NVM cell design.
