Abstract

This nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes: a first and a second memory cell column having memory cell transistors connected in series with a floating gate and a first and a second control gate located at both sides of that floating gate; a first select-gate transistor connected between the first memory cell column and a bit line; a second select-gate transistor connected between the second memory cell column and the bit line; and a third select gate transistor connected between the first memory cell column and a source line and also between the second memory cell column and the source line, respectively.
