Abstract

We present a first-order model for pFET hot-electron injection that is consistent for subthreshold and above threshold current levels. Injection is a critical phenomena for high-precision programming of floating-gate devices, and accurate modeling fuels continued improvement of programming techniques. Previous work has shown good modeling for subthreshold operation; in this work we extend the modeling throughout the region, enabling improved programming algorithms for floating-gate switch elements, resistors, and high-performance circuit elements. We discuss the implementation of this model in CADENCE'S version of SPICE. © 2007 IEEE.
