In a non-volatile memory device with a buried control gate, the effective channel length of the control gate is increased to restrain punchthrough, and a region for storing charge is increased for attaining favorably large capacity. A method of fabricating the memory device includes forming the control gate within a trench formed in a semiconductor substrate, and forming charge storing regions in the semiconductor substrate on both sides of the control gate in a self-aligning manner, thereby allowing for multi-level cell operation.
