25 results about "Programmable read-only memory" patented technology

A programmable read-only memory (PROM) is a form of digital memory where the setting of each bit is locked by a fuse or antifuse. It is one type of ROM (read-only memory). The data in them is permanent and cannot be changed. PROMs are used in digital electronic devices to store permanent data, usually low level programs such as firmware or microcode. The key difference from a standard ROM is that the data is written into a ROM during manufacture, while with a PROM the data is programmed into them after manufacture. Thus, ROMs tend to be used only for large production runs with well-verified data, while PROMs are used to allow companies to test on a subset of the devices in an order before burning data into all of them.

This invention discloses a one-time programmable read-only memory, its control method, and a storage unit, belonging to the field of data storage. When performing a write operation, the invention breaks down the gate oxide layer of the first field-effect transistor specified by the write operation instruction, enabling it to have gate leakage current during operation. When performing a read operation, based on applying a working voltage to the gate of the second field-effect transistor specified by the read operation instruction, the binary value represented by the second field-effect transistor is determined by detecting whether the second field-effect transistor has a sufficient gate leakage current. Since a floating gate structure is no longer used to store charge, a thick floating gate dielectric layer is not required for the field-effect transistor, thereby reducing the process complexity and cost of the field-effect transistor.
