Abstract: A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention has a bit line and a word line. The device includes a substrate which is provided with first trenches extending in a bit-line direction and has side surfaces forming sidewalls of the first trenches, the substrate being provided with bird's beaks at upper edges of the side surfaces, a first gate insulator formed on the substrate between the first trenches, a floating gate formed on the first gate insulator between the first trenches and located between second trenches extending in a word-line direction, the floating gate not being provided with bird's beaks at lower edges of side surfaces facing the first trenches, a second gate insulator formed on the floating gate between the second trenches, and a control gate formed on the second gate insulator between the second trenches.

Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes: fin-shaped control gate electrodes formed on an insulating layer; and a body layer having a channel region arranged to cross the control gate electrodes and embedded in the control gate electrodes sequentially via a first insulating layer, a charge storage layer, and a second insulating layer.
