Abstract

A semiconductor storage device includes: a substrate having a semiconductor layer at least on a surface thereof; and a plurality of quantum dot elements forming a charge storage layer formed above the semiconductor layer via a first insulating film that becomes a tunnel insulating film in such a manner that the quantum dot elements are connected with a bit line in series, wherein each quantum dot element forms a single electron memory.
