A method of forming a memory device with memory cells in a memory area, and logic devices in first and second peripheral areas. The memory cells each include a floating gate, a word line gate and an erase gate, and each logic device includes a gate. The oxide under the word line gate is formed separately from a tunnel oxide between the floating and erase gates, and is also the gate oxide in the first peripheral area. The word line gates, erase gates and gates in both peripheral areas are formed from the same polysilicon layer. The oxide between the erase gate and a source region is thicker than the tunnel oxide, which is thicker than the oxide under the word line gate.
