Abstract

An A-1 transistor type flash EEPROM is disclosed. The memory cell in the EEPROM comprises: a first control gate which is formed, through a first insulating film, on a first channel region formed between a source region and a drain region. A floating gate is formed on the second channel region through a second insulating film and on the first control gate through the first interlayer insulating film. A second control gate is formed on a surface of the floating gate through a second interlayer insulating film. One end of the second control gate and one end of the first control gate are electrically connected to each other through a third control gate, thereby enhancing capacitance between the control gates and the floating gate.
