ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for providing nonvolatile storage with a programmable transistor. The method includes receiving a data value to be stored in the programmable transistor and programming the programmable transistor to store the received data value. Programming includes applying a selected voltage to the programmable transistor. The selected voltage is selected to inject carriers into a gate oxide layer of the programmable transistor. The carriers are maintained in the gate oxide layer of the programmable transistor in the absence of the selected voltage, thereby programming the programmable transistor with the received data value.
