Abstract

Abstract A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device is provided having a MOS transistor and a floating gate type MOS transistor. The length of an overlap between a floating gate and a drain region of the floating gate type MOS transistor is made smaller than that of an overlap between the gate and the drain region of the MOS transistor.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 170 words
In a method for manufacturing a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device a method of forming an MOS device of double gate structure comprising the steps of: forming a first electroconductive layer which is superposed on a semiconductor substrate with a first insulating film interposed therebetween; forming a second electoconductive layer which is superposed on said first electroconductive layer with a second insulating film interposed therebetween; forming a control gate by selectively etching said second electroconductive layer; forming a floating gate by selectively etching said first electroconductive layer with said control gate as a mask, said floating gate being formed to have a length as viewed in a channel direction shorter than that of said control gate in the same direction; and introducing impurities by ion implantation into said semiconductor substrate with said control gate as a mask to form source and drain regions; and thermally processing said source and drain regions to extend these regions into those portions of said semiconductor substrate being under the end portions of said floating gate.
Claim 2
