A device having at least one memory cell over a substrate is provided. The at least one memory cell includes a source region and a drain region in the substrate, and a first gate and a second gate over the substrate. The first and second gates are arranged between the source region and the drain region. The first and second gate are separated by an intergate dielectric. The first gate is configured as a select gate and erase gate of the at least one memory cell, and the second gate is configured as a storage gate of the at least one memory cell. The second gate comprises a floating gate and a control gate over the floating gate. The device further includes source/drain (S/D) contacts extending from the source region and the drain region. The source region and the drain region are coupled to either one of a source line (SL) or a bit line (BL) through the S/D contacts.
