Abstract

See full text

A non-volatile semiconductor memory free from adverse effects due to process charge is provided. The non-volatile semiconductor memory includes: a silicon substrate; a first silicon oxide film; a second silicon oxide film; a first silicon nitride film; and a second silicon nitride film, wherein the first silicon oxide film is layered on the silicon substrate, the first silicon nitride film is layered on the first silicon oxide film, the second silicon oxide film is layered on the first silicon nitride film, and the second silicon nitride film is layered to have a first part that is in contact with the first silicon nitride film and a second part that is in contact with the silicon substrate.
