A transistor includes p-type semiconductor (12) including a projection
(13a)
having a pair of side walls (13b, 13b) facing each
other, a gate insulation layer (15c), a pair of n-type source/drain
regions (BL1, BL2), tunnel insulation layers (15a),
a pair of floating gates (FG1, FG2), inter-polycrystalline insulation
layers, and a control gate (CG). The root portion of the projection (13A),
which virtually connects the source/drain regions (BL1, BL2) with
a straight line, is higher in the concentration of the p-type impurity than the
other portion. A delete voltage for deleting charges stored in the floating gate
(FG) is applied between the control gate (CG) and the source/drain region (BL1,
BL2), so that a delete current flows toward the control gate (CG) or the
source/drain region (BL1, BL2), the charges stored being deleted.
