A method for performing a programming operation to a first memory bit and a second memory bit of a device is described. The method includes applying a pulse train voltage to a metal gate of the device and grounding a substrate of the device. By floating/grounding a drain of the device and/or by floating/grounding the source of the device, the first memory and the second memory bit are programmed. The pulse train voltage includes 10 to 1000 pulses. One pulse includes a peak voltage and a base voltage. The peak voltage ranges from 0.5 V to 10 V. A duration of the peak voltage ranges from 1 nanosecond to 1 millisecond. The base voltage is 0 V. A duration of the base voltage ranges from 1 nanosecond to 1 millisecond.
