Abstract
A two-transistor flash EPROM cell for high-speed high-density PLD applications is provided. The two-transistor cell includes a storage transistor connected in series to an access transistor. The storage transistor prevents problems associated with both over-erase and punch-through, and allows for scaling of the gate length to realize 5V cell programming.
