Abstract

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a floating gate electrode which is selectively formed on a main surface of a first conductivity type with a first gate insulating film interposed therebetween, a control gate electrode formed on the floating gate electrode with a second gate insulating film interposed therebetween, and source/drain regions of a second conductivity type which are formed in the main surface of the substrate in correspondence with the respective gate electrodes. The first gate electrode has a three-layer structure in which a silicon nitride film is held between silicon oxide films, and the silicon nitride film includes triple coordinate nitrogen bonds.
