1. An electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) comprising:
a semiconductor substrate including spaced apart first, second and third active regions;
a common floating gate traversing over the first through third active regions;
source/drain regions formed in the third active region on opposite sides of the floating gate;
a first interconnect connected to the first active region;
a second interconnect connected to the second active region;
a third interconnect connected to either one of the source/drain regions;
a first well disposed within the semiconductor substrate of the first active region; and
first impurity regions formed in the first active region on opposite sides of the floating gate.
