What is hot electron effect?

Answer Posted / khush

Hot Electron Effect is when a high electric field intensity
developed across the channel causes an avalanche of
electronic charge to break the insulation barrier. As a
result high speed electrons are directed towards the
(floating) gate. This is a charge injection mechanism and is
used in NOR flash programming, better known as Channel Hot
Electron Programming. Flash cells which use this technique
damages the oxide layer with every write.
