Abstract

A tunnel oxide film is formed on the surface of a p-type silicon substrate, and a floating gate electrode made from a polysilicon film is formed on the surface of the tunnel oxide film. On the surface of the floating gate electrode, a control gate electrode is formed via an NON film formed by sequentially stacking a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxide film, and a silicon nitride film. A side oxide film is formed on the side surfaces of the floating gate electrode and the control gate electrode. Source and drain regions made from an n-type diffused layer are formed on the surfaces of element regions of the silicon substrate on the two sides of the floating gate electrodes.
