Abstract

A semiconductor memory comprises: a fist conductivity type semiconductor substrate and one or more memory cells constituted of an island-like semiconductor layer, a charge storage layer and a control gate, the charge storage layer and the control gate being formed to entirely or partially encircle a sidewall of the island-like semiconductor layer, wherein at least one of said one or more memory cells is electrically insulated from the semiconductor substrate.
