The present invention generally relates to provide a dual-bit metal oxide nitride oxide semiconductor (MONOS)/semiconductor oxide nitride oxide semiconductor (SONOS) memory structure which is provided with a non-continuous floating gate. In a single memory device, the present invention utilizes a non-continuous floating gate for using as the dual-point electric charge storing unit. However, these two electric charge storing points are controlled by the source and the drain of the device. Utilizing a memory storing two bits can increase the memory content. Furthermore, electric charges stored in these two bits do not cross talk to each other so as the present invention can improve and enhance the reliability of the memory device.
