Abstract

An EEPROM formed of three-layer polysilicon is provided. A floating gate is at a second level and a portion thereof is at a first level. A first control gate and a select gate are formed spaced against from each other at the first level and a portion of the second floating gate extends between them for formation of a tunnel region. A second control gate which is kept at the same potential as the first control gate exist at a third level. In this EEPROM, electrons are drawn from the floating gate by applying a high voltage to the select gate.
