Abstract
A programmable interconnect which closely integrates an independent switching transistor with separate NVM programming and erasing elements. The programming element is an EPROM transistor and the erasing element is a Fowler-Nordheim tunneling device. A unitary floating gate is shared by the switching transistor and the NVM programming and elements which charge and discharge the floating gate. The shared floating gate structure is the memory structure of the integrated programmable interconnect and controls the impedance of the switching transistor.
