Abstract

A semiconductor device of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate, stripe-shaped trenches for separating the semiconductor substrate into a plurality of active regions, a buried film having a projecting portion that projects from the semiconductor substrate, buried into the trenches, a source region and drain region of a second conductivity type, which are a pair of regions formed in the active region, for providing a channel region of a first conductivity type for a region therebetween, and a floating gate consisting of a single layer striding across the source region and the drain region, projecting beyond the projecting portion in a manner not overlapping the projecting portion, in which an aspect ratio of the buried film is 2.3 to 3.67.
