Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises a floating gate which is formed on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductive type interposing a first gate insulation layer therebetween, a second charge retaining area which is formed on the semiconductor substrate interposing a second insulation layer, a control gate which is formed on the floating gate interposing a second gate insulation layer therebetween, a second gate electrode which extends in the first direction and which is formed on the second charge retaining region interposing the second gate insulation layer therebetween, and a semiconductor layer which extends in a second direction and which is formed on the semiconductor substrate so as to intersect the first and the second gate electrode are provided; wherein an n-type conductive region of a second conductive type is formed on the semiconductor layer. Consequently, it achieves high-integration of a semiconductor device.
