A method of evaluating a semiconductor storage device of a floating gate type has calculating an electron density distribution of a tunnel insulating film of a memory cell by multiplying a change rate of a threshold voltage Vt of the memory cell of the semiconductor storage device with respect to the change of the logarithm of a time with &egr;*Cr*2k/Tox/q (where &egr; is the permittivity of the tunnel insulating film of the memory cell, Cr indicates a coupling ratio of the memory cell, Tox indicates the thickness of the tunnel insulating film, k indicates an attenuation rate of the existence probability when the charges are detrapped and is represented as k=(2mE/(h/2&pgr;)2)0.5, m indicates the mass of the electron, E indicates an energy level of the trap of the tunnel insulating film, h indicates a Planck's constant, and &pgr; indicates a circumference ratio). |
