Nonvolatile Programmable Switch With Adjacently Integrated Flash Memory and CMOS Logic for Low-Power and High-Speed FPGA

Novel nonvolatile programmable switch for low-power and high-speed field-programmable gate array (FPGA) where flash memory is adjacently integrated to CMOS logic is demonstrated. The flash memory and the high-speed switching transistor (SwTr) are fabricated close to each other without deteriorating their respective performance. Furthermore, programming schemes to write and erase the flash memory a...
