PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an EEPROM which is capable of making a memory transistor more uniform in characteristics and reducing its parasitic capacitance restraining a rewritable life and charge holding properties from deteriorating and to provide its manufacturing method. SOLUTION: The memory transistor is manufactured as follows: A floating gate electrode 8 is formed so as to cover the whole of a tunnel film 6 and a channel formation predetermined region 12 excluding a region located between the channel formation predetermined region 12 and a buried layer 3. A drain-side electric field relaxing layer 10 is formed in a self-aligned manner using the end face of the floating gate electrode 8. A control gate electrode 13 is formed on the floating gate 8 via an interlayer insulating film 11 so as to have such a shape wherein it is made, at least, larger in width than the floating gate electrode 8 on a region where the tunnel film 6 has been formed as it wraps up the floating gate electrode, but smaller in width than the floating gate electrode 8 on the channel formation predetermined region 12.
