Hi, is there a way for me to fabricate flash memory using sky130A. Though there is a research paper but I couldn't find the layer on magic.

The layer is called "sonos". We do not have access to the SONOS cells developed by Cypress---They were not part of the open PDK offering. However, there are design rules for using the SONOS layer, so with a bit of work it should be possible to construct a working cell. Jennifer Hasler's group at Georgia Tech also did some layout on early Open MPW runs of floating-gate devices using regular polysilicon, not SONOS.

I'm from Dr. Hasler's group, you can find our FG cells here (https://gitlab.com/um-ece/ftl-lab/hilas/cells). We've tested the injection/tunneling and found they're reliable (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10431551)

@Pranav Mathews: Wow, that's the first I've heard about testing on those cells. Can you send me a preprint of that paper, please?

Any chance I could get a copy of the paper too ? ( I don't have IEEE access 😕 )

For anyone curious

@Pranav Mathews Thanks !
