A single-poly electrically erasable/programmable CMOS logic memory cell
for mobile applications includes a CMOS inverter that share a single
polysilicon floating gate, and an enhanced control capacitor including a
control gate capacitor and an optional isolated P-well (IPW) capacitor
formed below the control gate capacitor. The control gate capacitor
includes a polysilicon control gate that is interdigitated with the
floating gate and serves as a capacitor plate to induce Fowler-Nordheim
(F-N) injection or Band-to-Band Tunneling (BBT) to both program and erase
the floating gate. The IPW capacitor is provided in the otherwise unused
space below the control gate capacitor by a IPW that is separated from
the control/floating gates by a dielectric layer and is electrically
connected to the control gate. Both F-N injection and BBT program/erase
are performed at 5V or less.
