A technology capable of improving a charge retention characteristic of a nonvolatile memory is provided. In a memory cell in which an interlayer insulating film formed of an ONO film obtained by laminating a lower silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, and an upper silicon oxide film is formed between a floating gate formed of a polycrystalline silicon film and a control gate formed of a polycrystalline silicon film, the upper silicon oxide film is formed through LPCVD and is then nitrided through a remote plasma process, thereby introducing nitrogen of, for example, 5 to 6 atom % into the upper surface portion of the upper silicon oxide film.
