ABSTRACT:
A method of programming a memory cell in a non-volatile memory device includes applying a first voltage to a control gate associated with the memory cell and applying a second voltage to a drain region associated with the memory cell. The method also includes applying a positive bias to a source region associated with the memory cell and/or applying a negative bias to a substrate region associated with the memory cell.
