We present an investigation of the process of charging and discharging of the floatinggate of thin oxide Flash EEPROMs based on a fully quantum mechanical approach totransport in the vertical direction. Our approach allows us to compute program, erase,and retention times as a function of the gate stack structure, and applied voltages
