NOR virtual ground (NVG)-a new scaling concept for very high density flash EEPROM and its implementation in a 0.5 um process

A new NOR virtual ground flash cell array concept is introduced. A 2.4 um/sup 2/ cell size based on a 0.5 um process is realized, which is a 35% cell size reduction compared with the conventional NOR cell.<<ETX>>
