Non-volatile semiconductor memory device and manufacturing method thereof

摘要

A tunnel insulating film is formed on a main surface of a silicon substrate. A floating gate electrode is formed on the tunnel insulating film. A nitride layer formed of a material of the floating gate electrode is formed in the vicinity of an interface between the floating gate electrode and the tunnel insulating film located in a tunnel region A. Therefore, the write/erase characteristics of a non-volatile semiconductor memory device can be improved without decreasing the driving capability of a memory transistor at lower voltages.
