Memory cell structures and related circuitry for use in non-volatile memory devices can be fabricated utilizing standard CMOS processes, for example, 0.18 micron or 0.15 micron processes. Advantageously, the cell structures can be programmed so that a conductive path is formed between like type materials, for example, between a p-type gate and a p-type source/drain region or an n-type gate and an n-type source/drain region. Programming cells in this manner advantageously provides a programmed cell having a low, linear resistance after programming.
