Abstract

According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, a tunneling insulating film, a floating gate, a leak suppression unit, an inter-gate insulating film, and a control gate. The substrate includes silicon. The tunneling insulating film is provided on the substrate. The floating gate is provided on the tunneling insulating film. The leak suppression unit is provided on the floating gate. The inter-gate insulating film is provided on the leak suppression unit. The control gate is provided on the inter-gate insulating film. The dielectric constant of the leak suppression unit is higher than a dielectric constant of the inter-gate insulating film.
