Zusammenfassung:The present subject matter relates to an electrical programmable read only memory (EPROM) cell. The EPROM cell comprises a semiconductor substrate and a floating gate separated from the semiconductor substrate by a first dielectric layer. A control gate is capacitively coupled to the floating gate through a second dielectric layer disposed between the floating gate and the control gate. In an example, the EPROM cell further comprises a conductive gate connected to the floating gate, wherein the conductive gate is to leak charges from the floating gate in a predetermined leak time period.
