Abstract
A method of operating a non-volatile memory device includes providing the non-volatile memory device with a body of first conductivity, a source region of second conductivity, a drain region of second conductivity on the body, and a control gate over the body adjacent to the source and drain regions. A first voltage of first polarity is applied to the control gate. A second voltage of first polarity is applied to the drain region, the second voltage being less than about 5.6 volts. A third voltage of second polarity is applied to the source region.
