A non-volatile memory system including an array of cells, each having an access transistor and a capacitor sharing a floating gate. The access transistors in each row are fabricated in separate well regions, which are independently biased. Within each row, the source of each access transistor is coupled to a corresponding virtual ground line, and each capacitor structure is coupled to a corresponding word line. Alternately, the source of each access transistor in a column is coupled to a corresponding virtual ground line. Within each column, the drain of each access transistor is coupled to a corresponding bit line. Select memory cells in each row are programmed by band-to-band tunneling. Bit line biasing prevents programming of non-selected cells of the row. Programming is prevented in non-selected rows by controlling the well region voltages of these rows. Sector erase operations are implemented by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling.
