Abstract
Disclosed is a semiconductor device comprising a first conductive film serving as a floating gate and formed on a semiconductor film via a first gate insulating film, a second conductive film serving as a control gate and formed on the first conductive film via a second gate insulating film, and a third conductive film buried in a contact hole formed by removing a part of the second conductive film and second gate insulating film so as to reach an upper surface of the first conductive film from an upper surface of the second conductive film.

1-14. (canceled)
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
- stacking a first gate insulating film, a first conductive film serving as a floating gate, a second gate insulating film, and a second conductive film serving as a control gate on a semiconductor substrate, thereby forming a gate wiring pattern of a stacked gate structure;
- removing part of the second conductive film and the second gate insulating film, thereby forming a contact hole reaching an upper surface of the first conductive film from an upper surface of the second conductive film;
- and
- burying a third conductive film in the contact hole.
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
- forming a first conductive film serving as a floating gate on a semiconductor substrate via a first gate insulating film;
- selectively etching the first conductive film serving as the floating gate so as to remove at least an unnecessary portion in a gate-width direction of the floating gate,
- forming a second conductive film serving as a control gate on the substrate and on the first conductive film via a second gate insulating film;
- selectively etching the second conductive film together with the first conductive film, thereby forming a gate wiring pattern for each of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell and a transistor other than the memory cell;
- selectively etching the second conductive film and second gate insulating film by lithography in accordance with the gate wiring pattern in the transistor other than the memory cell, thereby forming a contact hole reaching an upper surface of the first conductive film from an upper surface of the second conductive film;
- and
- burying a third conductive film in the contact hole.
