Abstract

A nonvolatile semiconductor storage device including memory-cell transistors located in a memory-cell region, each of the transistors including a gate insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate and a memory-cell gate electrode including a first semiconductor film, an insulating film, and a conductive film; word lines each interconnecting the conductive film of the transistors aligned in a first direction and each including a hook-up portion located in a hook-up region located outside the memory-cell region; and an interlayer insulating film disposed on the upper surface of the memory-cell gate electrodes so as to form a gap between the memory-cell gate electrodes; wherein a second semiconductor film and a first insulating film are disposed in the hook-up region, wherein the interlayer insulating film covers an upper surface of the first insulating film and an upper surface of the plurality of word lines in the hook-up portion.
