description An integrated circuit device may at least one memory cell configured for dual erase modes. Each memory cell may be configured to be erased via two different nodes, which may be selectively used (e.g., in any switched or alternating manner) to reduce the erase cycling at each individual node and thereby increase (e.g., double) the lifespan of the cell. For example, the device may include flash memory cells having a pair of program/erase nodes (e.g., an erase gate and a word line) formed over each respective floating gate, wherein the program/erase nodes are selectively used (e.g., in any switched or alternating manner) for the cell erase function.
