A non-volatile memory cell and a high voltage MOS transistor on the same semiconductor
chip without changing the characteristic of the non-volatile memory cell. A gate
insulating film of a MOS transistor is formed using the steps of forming an oxide
film 12 formed on a floating gate 14 of a split-gate type non-volatile
memory cell and of forming a tunneling insulating film 16 formed on the
floating gate 14 and the oxide film 12. The gate insulating film
13 of the MOS transistor is formed by a stacked layer of the oxide film
12 and tunneling insulating film 16. Thus, the quantity of heat treatment
in the entire production process undergoes no change, and the optimized characteristic
of the non-volatile memory undergoes no change.
