Abstract

A semiconductor device 10 with Test Element Group (TEG) for estimating an interlayer dielectric includes a memory cell array. The memory cell array includes a semiconductor substrate 1, and a floating gate 2, an interlayer dielectric 3, and a control gate 4, all formed on the substrate 1 in this order. The TEG has the memory cell array similar to semiconductor device subject to estimation for the interlayer dielectric 3. The floating gate 2 has an electrode 5 for estimating the interlayer dielectric 3 provided on at least one side against an elongated direction of the memory cell array.
