Abstract
A programmable two terminal non-volatile device uses a floating gate that can be programed by a hot electron injection induced by a potential between a source and drain. The floating gate layer can also function as a FET gate for other circuits in an integrated circuit containing an array of the devices. The invention can be used in environments such as data encryption, reference trimming, manufacturing ID, security ID, and many other applications.
