<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure">Structure</h2></div>

<p>An FGMOS can be fabricated by electrically isolating the gate of a standard MOS transistor, so that there are no resistive connections to its gate. A number of secondary gates or inputs are then deposited above the floating gate (FG) and are electrically isolated from it. These inputs are only capacitively connected to the FG, since the FG is completely surrounded by highly resistive material. So, in terms of its DC operating point, the FG is a floating node.
</p><p>For applications where the charge of the FG needs to be modified, a pair of small extra transistors are added to each FGMOS transistor to conduct the injection and tunneling operations. The gates of every transistor are connected together; the tunneling transistor has its source, drain and bulk terminals interconnected to create a capacitive tunneling structure. The injection transistor is connected normally and specific voltages are applied to create hot carriers that are then injected via an electric field into the floating gate.
</p><p>FGMOS transistor for purely capacitive use can be fabricated on N or P versions. <sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
For charge modification applications, the tunneling transistor (and therefore the operating FGMOS) needs to be embedded into a well, hence the technology dictates the type of FGMOS that can be fabricated.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modeling">Modeling</h2></div>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Large_signal_DC">Large signal DC</h3></div>
<p>The equations modeling the DC operation of the FGMOS can be derived from the equations that describe the operation of the MOS transistor used to build the FGMOS. If it is possible to determine the voltage at the FG of an FGMOS device, it is then possible to express its drain to source current using standard MOS transistor models. Therefore, to derive a set of equations that model the large signal operation of an FGMOS device, it is necessary to find the relationship between its effective input voltages and the voltage at its FG.

These equations show two drawbacks of the FGMOS compared with the MOS transistor:
</p>
<ul><li>Reduction of the input transconductance</li>
<li>Reduction of the output resistance</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Simulation">Simulation</h2></div>
<p>Under normal conditions, a floating node in a circuit represents an error because its initial condition is unknown unless it is somehow fixed. This generates two problems:
</p>
<ol><li>It is not easy to simulate these circuits</li>
<li>An unknown amount of charge might stay trapped at the floating gate during the fabrication process which will result in an unknown initial condition for the FG voltage.</li></ol>
<p>Among the many solutions proposed for the computer simulation, one of the most promising methods is an Initial Transient Analysis (ITA) proposed by Rodriguez-Villegas,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> where the FGs are set to zero volts or a previously known voltage based on the measurement of the charge trapped in the FG after the fabrication process. A transient analysis is then run with the supply voltages set to their final values, letting the outputs evolve normally. The values of the FGs can then be extracted and used for posterior small-signal simulations, connecting a voltage supply with the initial FG value to the floating gate using a very-high-value inductor.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications">Applications</h2></div>
<p>The usage and applications of the FGMOS can be broadly classified in two cases. If the charge in the floating gate is not modified during the circuit usage, the operation is capacitively coupled.
</p><p>In the capacitively coupled regime of operation, the net charge in the floating gate is not modified. Examples of application for this regime are single transistor adders, DACs, multipliers and logic functions, and variable threshold inverters.
</p><p>Using the FGMOS as a programmable charge element, it is commonly used for <a href="Non-volatile_storage" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-volatile storage">non-volatile storage</a> such as <a href="Flash_memory" title="Flash memory">flash</a>, <a href="EPROM" title="EPROM">EPROM</a> and <a href="EEPROM" title="EEPROM">EEPROM</a> memory. In this context, floating-gate MOSFETs are useful because of their ability to store an electrical charge for extended periods of time without a connection to a power supply. Other applications of the FGMOS are neuronal computational element in <a href="Neural_network" title="Neural network">neural networks</a>, analog storage element and <a href="Digital_potentiometer" title="Digital potentiometer">e-pots</a>.
