Nonvolatile semiconductor memory device having a drain region of different impurity density and conductivity types

摘要

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes an n-type region which is in contact with n+ drain diffusion region at a surface of p-type silicon substrate and covers the periphery thereof. The device also includes a p-type impurity region which is in contact with n-type region and covers the periphery thereof. The n+ drain diffusion region, n-type region and p+ impurity region extend to region located immediately under the floating gate electrode. Thereby, the nonvolatile semiconductor memory device has a structure which can promote injection of high energy electrons along a gate electrode direction.
