A nonvolatile memory cell is provided. The memory cell comprises a storage
transistor and an injector in a semiconductor substrate of a p-type
conductivity. The injector comprises a first region of the p-type
conductivity and a second region of an n-type conductivity. The storage
transistor comprises a source, a drain, a channel, a charge storage
region, and a control gate. The source and the drain have the p-type
conductivity and are formed in a well of the n-type conductivity in the
substrate with the channel of the well defined therebetween. The charge
storage region is disposed over and insulated from the channel by a first
insulator. The control gate is disposed over and insulated from the
charge storage region by a second insulator. Further provided are methods
operating the memory cell, including means for injecting electrons from
the channel through the first insulator onto the charge storage region
and means for injecting holes from the injector through the well through
the channel through the first insulator onto the charge storage region.
