Space is limited!Must be clear, concise, and easy to read.Should include some background material (e.g. current standards), objectives (e.g. specifications) and challenges (e.g. technical limitations)Present only the high-lights of important results and accomplishments of your project.Target audience: 3rd and 4th year students, professors, industry representatives, and ECE496 administratorsMake good use of diagrams and drawings (a picture worth more than a thousand words).No place for complete program codes and derivations.

IntroductionField programmable capability to wireless portable telecommunication equipment
True 5V or lower operationCompatible with CMOS/BiCMOSprocessesHigh operation speeds and high densityKey to embedded systemsSolid-state nonvolatile memoriesMulti-level Encoding
Design ChallengesMost require high drain bias voltage (VD > 5V) to generate hot electrons for programming. Not directly scalable to shorter channel length. Not suitable for low voltage applications.Require high drain current (IDS @ 1mA) during programming. Require large charge pump circuits and limits the number of cells that can be programmed at once.Suffers from slow programming speed (a few µs). Not suitable to replace RAM and electronic hard drives.

Results & Conclusions
0.8m
Design for low voltage applications —eliminate the voltages applied to the source and drain to be below the 5V or 3.3V supplyImprove the performance — more specifically the programming and erasing speed need to be increaseCompatible to existing CMOS/BiCMOS— simple cell construction and reduce cost, ensure the viability for low cost single chip embedded systems.
