Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a non-volatile memory cell includes forming first insulating films with first conductive films arranged therebetween, recessing the first insulating films using the first conductive films as a mask, so that heights of top surfaces of the first insulating films are lower than heights of top surfaces of the first conductive films, forming a second insulating film over the first conductive and insulating films, forming a second conductive film over the second insulating film, and patterning the first and second conductive films, and the second insulating film. A length of the floating gate in a second direction is larger than a maximum length of the floating gate in a first direction, and a length from a top surface of the second insulating film to a top surface of the floating gate is larger than a length of a space between a plurality the floating gates.
