Abstract
Memory cell gates are formed on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate via a gate isolation film. Source regions and drain regions are formed on both sides of the memory cell gates. The source regions have p− impurity regions and n+ impurity regions while the drain regions have p− impurity regions and n+ impurity regions. And the concentration of the p− impurity regions is made higher than the concentration of the p− regions while the concentration of the n+ impurity regions is made higher than the concentration of the n+ impurity regions.
