Abstract

Disclosed is a semiconductor storage device comprising a semiconductor substrate, a first and a second impurity diffusion layer formed in the semiconductor substrate, a gate insulating film formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a first gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate via the gate insulating film. The gate insulating film has a nitrogen-containing silicon oxide film inside, and a silicon oxide film is so arranged on both sides of the nitrogen-containing silicon oxide film as to sandwich the nitrogen-containing silicon oxide film. In addition, the nitrogen composition in the nitrogen-containing silicon oxide film is increased from the semiconductor substrate side to the first gate electrode side.
