Erasing may be by hot hole injection. For example, during erase, a negative voltage of approximately ?2.5V may be applied to the first capacitor 168 to bias the floating gate 112. A suitable voltage of approximately 6 to 8V may be applied to the drain 108. The source 106 and the substrate terminal 116 may be grounded. Hot holes may be generated in the channel region and injected into the floating gate 112 to recombine with the electrons stored in the floating gate 112. The memory device array 100 may be erased simultaneously.
