The double-gate MOS has been introduced in MICROWIND
for the simulation of non-volatile memories such as
EPROM, EEPROM and FLASH. The command "UV exposure"
erases floating gates and removes all electrons. The
programming is performed by a very high voltage supply
on the gate (7V in 0.12µm), a 1.2V voltage difference
between drain and source. Some electrons are
sufficiently accelerated to pass through the gate oxide
by hot tunneling effect.
