A BiCMOS integrated circuit (IC) includes a floating gate-type non-volatile memory (NVM) device that uses the polycrystalline silicon gate of a CMOS FET and the P-base and N-emitter diffusions of a bipolar transistor to provide an isolated P-type body and N-type source/drain diffusions. The P-body diffusion of the NVM device is isolated from a P-substrate by an N-well, thus facilitating the use of reduced positive and negative voltage levels to produce the onset of Fowler-Nordheim tunneling without the need for a triple-well structure. The polysilicon gate structure is formed on a suitable gate oxide over the P-body. The source/drain diffusions, which like the N-emitter diffusions of the bipolar transistor have no LDD, produce a reduced field drop across the gate oxide to allow Fowler-Nordheim tunneling from the source side.
