Non-volatile semiconductor memory device and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

To provide a non-volatile semiconductor memory device in which the word line resistance can be decreased in resistance without being accompanied by increase in chip area, and a manufacturing method for the non-volatile semiconductor memory device. In a non-volatile semiconductor memory device having a floating gate (203 of FIG. 2) and a control gate (205 of FIG. 2), a contact groove (407 of FIG. 4a) extending in the direction of a word line (102 of FIG. 1) is provided on an interlayer insulating film (404 of FIG. 4a) formed as an upper layer of the control gate, and an electrically conductive member of, for example, tungsten, is embedded in the contact groove to establish electrical connection between the wiring metal (409 of FIG. 4d) formed as an upper layer of the interlayer insulating film and the control gate with a large contact area.
