    Abstract: A system and method of operating a twin-transistor, multi-time programmable memory (MTPM) memory cell that ensures accurate reproducibility of bit values read after each of write cycle. Each multi-time programmable memory cell includes a series connection of a first transistor and a second transistor. The method includes writing, using a write circuit at select memory cell locations, initial bit values to one or more select memory cells. Then, using the write circuit, a rebalancing of a state of a parameter associated with one or more the first transistor or second transistor, at each the select memory cell, is performed. Then, an erasing cycle is performed, at each the rebalanced select memory cell, the written initial bit value. In one embodiment, the erasing cycle may first be performed prior to rebalancing. The rebalancing and erasing are to be performed prior to each bit value write cycle.

    Abstract: A capacitor structure can include a parallel connection of a plurality of trench capacitors. First nodes of the plurality of trench capacitors are electrically tied to provide a first node of the capacitor structure. Second nodes of the plurality of trench capacitors are electrically tied together through at least one programmable electrical connection at a second node of the capacitor structure. Each programmable electrical connection can include at least one of a programmable electrical fuse and a field effect transistor, and can disconnect a corresponding trench capacitor temporarily or permanently. The total capacitance of the capacitor structure can be tuned by programming, temporarily or permanently, the at least one programmable electrical connection.
