Hot Carrier Design Considerations in MOS Nonvolatile Memories
Floating-gate type nonvolatile semiconductor memories (NVSMs) were first introduced and applied by Kahng and Sze in 1967 [1]. The metal-nitride-oxide-silicon (MNOS) structure was first reported by…
A new architecture of NVRAM
High density EEPROMs beyond 04 K have already been introduced into the market. These EEPROMs' application, however, is limited because of lack of erase/write endurance and a long programming time.…

Flash Memories: An Overview
TLDR
Solid-state memory devices which retain information once the power supply is switched off are called “nonvolatile” memories, and the user can program the information by blowing fusible links or antifuses, thus changing permanently the cell content.
