Abstract: Disclosed is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device in which a disturbance phenomenon can be prevented. A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device has a semiconductor substrate, and a floating gate electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate via a gate insulating film. The floating gate electrode includes a lower conductive layer formed on the gate insulating film and having a first width W1 in a channel width direction, and an upper conductive layer formed on the lower conductive layer and having a second width W2 wider than the first width W1 in the channel width direction.

Abstract: There is described a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device for accurately and anisotropically etching desired locations on a semiconductor wafer at high selectivity. A polysilicon layer which is to act as a floating gate is embedded in the surface of an oxide film insulating layer. Control gates are formed in a direction orthogonal to the polysilicon layer. Exposed portions of the polysilicon layer are subjected to dry-etching, thereby forming a floating gate. Residues remaining in the channels formed in the oxide film insulating layer are removed by means of wet etching.

Abstract: A storage node to be a lower electrode of a capacitor is electrically connected to a polysilicon columnar conductive body filling a contact hole with a second polysilicon film therebetween. The second polysilicon film covers the inside of an opening portion formed in the first polysilicon film. The polysilicon film columnar conductive body is electrically connected to a source/drain region of an MOS transistor at a contact. Thus, a semiconductor device with good electrical connection between the capacitor and the transistor may be provided.
