  • Abstract
    To ensure reliability of EEPROM devices, it is significant to monitor the evolution of the memory array threshold voltage (VT) distribution. In this work, impact of endurance and retention tests is evaluated on EEPROM VT distributions. To track accurately the evolution of the VT distribution, an innovative experimental plan is setup and experimental results are deeply analyzed.
