Abstract
The present invention provides a system for efficiently producing versatile multiple input floating gate structures. The present invention provides multiple-input floating gate device (100, 400) that has a first input (106, 406) formed in a first active device region (202, 502) and a second input (108, 408) formed in a second active device region (204, 504). A floating gate (200, 500) is disposed upon the first and second inputs, separated from the inputs by a dielectric layer. A device body, formed in a third active device region (210, 506), is coupled to the first and second inputs through the floating gate.
