Abstract

In a non-volatile semiconductor storage device, a barrier layer is disposed, via an interlayer isolating film, in an area surrounding a floating gate, including an area adjoining a connecting part of the floating gate, without covering the floating gate. The edge of the barrier layer is, in an overhead view relative to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, disposed at a space of 2 &mgr;m apart from the edge of the floating gate.
