    Abstract: A memory device that includes source and drain regions formed in a semiconductor substrate, with a first channel region of the substrate extending there between. A floating gate is disposed over and insulated from the channel region, wherein the conductivity of the channel region is solely controlled by the floating gate. A control gate is disposed over and insulated from the floating gate. An erase gate is disposed over and insulated from the source region, wherein the erase gate includes a notch that faces and is insulated from an edge of the floating gate. Logic devices are formed on the same substrate. Each logic device has source and drain regions with a channel region extending there between, and a logic gate disposed over and controlling the logic device's channel region.

    Abstract: A neural network device having a first plurality of synapses that includes a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell includes a floating gate over a first portion of a channel region and a first gate over a second portion of the channel region. The memory cells are arranged in rows and columns. A plurality of first lines each electrically connect together the first gates in one of the memory cell rows, a plurality of second lines each electrically connect together the source regions in one of the memory cell rows, and a plurality of third lines each electrically connect together the drain regions in one of the memory cell columns. The first plurality of synapses receives a first plurality of inputs as electrical voltages on the plurality of third lines, and provides a first plurality of outputs as electrical currents on the plurality of second lines.
