Abstract

A method for programming a nonvolatile memory includes applying at least a voltage to a source or a drain, so as to inject carriers of the source or drain into a substrate; applying a third voltage to a gate or the substrate, so that the carriers which are in the substrate having enough energy can surmount an oxide layer to reach a charge storage device.
