چکیده
In this paper the experimental equipment for UV-programming of floating-gate circuits are presented along with initial results on concurrent UV-programming of digital floating-gate circuits. It is demonstrated that concurrent UV-programming is possible when using real-time reconfigurable gates (Universal Gates). It is also shown that openings in the passivation, enabling UV-programming, works two years after fabrication of the chip.

A Proposition on Floating Gate Neuron MOS Macromodeling for Device Fabrications
A neuron MOS transistor has a floating gate and multiple input gates which are capacitively coupling with the floating gate. Dramatic reduction in the number of transistors and interconnections was achieved by employing the neuron MOS in circuit designs. Since the neuron MOS gate electrode is electrically floating, it is not necessarily easy to calculate the floating gate potential using circui...

We discuss the possibility of developing high-quality oating-gate memories and circuits in digital CMOS technologies that have only one layer of polysilicon. Here, the primary concern is whether or not we can get adequate control-gate linearity from MOS capacitors. We employ two experimental proceedures to address this issue and nd acceptable oating-gate circuit behavior with MOS capacitors. Fi...

The supply and threshold voltage scaling has been proposed for low-voltage/low-power design [1, 2, 3]. The programmable floating-gate circuits [3, 4] can be used to implement low-voltage/low-power digital circuits. The threshold voltages are shifted using reversed supply voltages and UV-light. The supply voltage may be reduced and the current level is determined by the threshold shift. Before t...
