Abstract

Program and erase are the only two operations able to modify the content of the cells. Since the content of the cells is strictly related to the number ν of electrons inside the floating gate, these operations involve high electric fields (i.e. high voltages) to exploit the Fowler-Nordheim phenomena (Chap. 3 and change ν. Particular attention must be taken when dealing with high voltages, since a little variation could have dramatic consequences.
