A semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of transistors having a stacked-gate structure. Each transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate insulator formed on the semiconductor substrate, a lower gate formed on the semiconductor substrate with the gate insulator interposed, an intergate insulator formed on the lower gate, and an upper gate formed and silicided on the lower gate with the intergate insulator interposed. A portion of the transistors has an aperture formed through the intergate insulator to connect the lower gate with the upper gate and further includes a block film composed of an insulator and formed smaller than the upper gate and larger than the aperture above the upper gate to cover the aperture.
