Abstract

A non-volatile semiconductor memory cell with dual functions includes a substrate, a first gate, a second gate, a third gate, a charge storage layer, a first diffusion region, a second diffusion region, and a third diffusion region. The second gate and the third gate are used for receiving a first voltage corresponding to a one-time programming function of the dual function and a second voltage corresponding to a multi-time programming function of the dual function. The first diffusion region is used for receiving a third voltage corresponding to the one-time programming function and a fourth voltage corresponding to the multi-time programming function. The second diffusion region is used for receiving a fifth voltage corresponding to the multi-time programming function.
