A semiconductor storage device has a single gate electrode formed on a
semiconductor substrate through a gate insulation film. First and second
memory function bodies formed on both sides of the gate electrode. A
P-type channel region is formed in a surface of the substrate on the side
of the gate electrode. N-type first and second diffusion regions are
formed on both sides of the channel region. The channel region is
composed of an offset region located under the first and second memory
function bodies and a gate electrode beneath region located under the
gate electrode. The concentration of a dopant which imparts a P-type
conductivity to the offset region is effectively lower than the
concentration of a dopant which imparts the P-type conductivity to the
gate electrode beneath region. This makes it possible to provide the
semiconductor storage device which is easily shrunk in scale.
