Abstract
A model that describes the cell behavior for E2PROM memories was developed and shows good agreement with experimental evidence. The model uses as inputs the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling equation, the cell characteristics and the shape of the programming pulse, to describe the electric fields and the threshold voltages of the cell. Special attention is dedicated to properly measuring the tunneling currents.
