A nonvolatile charge-addressed memory (NOVCAM) cell

A nonvolatile charge-addressed memory (NOVCAM) cell is described in a 64-bit shift register configuration. The charge address is performed by a charge-coupled device (CCD) shift register and the information is stored in metal-nitride-oxide-silicon (MNOS) nonvolatile sites located in parallel with the CCD shift register. The tunneling electric field strength across the thin-oxide MNOS structure is controlled by the magnitude of the charge transferred from the CCD register. The write, erase, and read modes of operation are discussed with typical /spl plusmn/20 V 10 /spl mu/s write/erase, and 2 V 2 /spl mu/s read conditions. Readout is accomplished by parallel stabilized charge injection from a diffused p/n junction to minimize access time to the first bit.
