Evolving from the EEPROM chip, flash was invented by Toshiba in the mid-1980s and named after its ability to erase a block of data "in a flash." However, this block erasing is flash memory's ...

Moreover, developers need to be able to improve power efficiency while lowering system cost. Today, there are numerous non-volatile memory technologies available to developers, including EEPROM, NOR ...

As an FGMOS allows for the retention of a charge in the floating gate, it enabled the development of non-volatile semiconductor storage technologies like EPROM, EEPROM and flash memory.
