    Abstract: [PROBLEM] An object of the present invention is to provide a nonvolatile memory device having an excellent information retention characteristic, exhibiting high performance, and achieving practical mass-production, and a manufacturing method therefor. [SOLUTION] A nonvolatile memory device 1 has a laminated structure part including a plurality of Al2O3 layers 4 and a plurality of SiO2 layers 6 formed as two types of insulating layers formed with different compositions and disposed alternately, and an O-M1-O layer 5 of a 0.5 molecular layer to a 2.0 molecular layer, formed by a chemical bond between a metal element M1 and oxygen, and disposed on each joining interface between the insulating layers, the metal element M1 being an element other than elements constituting the insulating layers, and the nonvolatile memory device stores information by modulating an interface dipole induced in the vicinity of the O-M1-O layer 5 by external electrical stimulation.
