A one-time programmable, dual-bit memory device comprises one MOS storage transistor having a semiconductor substrate, first and second active regions formed under the surface of the substrate being separated by a part of the substrate forming a channel region, a gate formed on the surface of the said substrate in line with the channel region and whose respective distal ends are aligned with a part of the first active region and with a part of the second active region, respectively, which gate is permanently held at ground potential, and a gate oxide layer running between the gate and the surface of the substrate. The intact or broken down state between the gate and the first active region determines a stored value of a first bit, and the intact or broken down state between the gate and the second active region determines a stored value of a second bit.
