A non-volatile semiconductor storage device with which a multi-value memory is realized and the amount of information storable is increased without increasing the number of memory transistors and the area occupied thereby. A gate electrode portion 20a of each memory transistor has a two-layer floating gate structure comprising two floating gate electrodes 22a, 22b and a control gate electrode 24 which are substantially vertically laminated one above another. The non-volatile semiconductor storage device is thereby constructed as a multi-value memory capable of providing a state "1" where electrons are injected into the first floating gate electrode 22a, a state "0" where electrons are injected into the first and second floating gate electrodes 22a, 22b, and a state "2" where electrons are withdrawn from the first and second floating gate electrodes 22a, 22b.
