A FLOTOX-TYPE EEPROM of the invention has a configuration wherein an N region 25 as an impurity region formed under a tunnel window 12 and a channel stopper region 19 formed under a LOCOS oxide film 18 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance Y. Therefore, the tunnel window 12 does not sustain damage if an excessive voltage is applied to the tunnel window 12. As a result, the FLOTOX-TYPE EEPROM is adapted to limit the voltage applied to the tunnel window 12 and to reduce stress on the tunnel window 12 and can achieve an increased number of rewrites.
