A nonvolatile semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same
are provided. The nonvolatile semiconductor device includes a
semiconductor body formed on a substrate to be elongated in one direction
and having a cross section perpendicular to a main surface of the
substrate and elongated direction, the cross section having a
predetermined curvature, a channel region partially formed along the
circumference of the semiconductor body, a tunneling insulating layer
disposed on the channel region, a floating gate disposed on the tunneling
insulating layer and electrically insulated from the channel region, an
intergate insulating layer disposed on the floating gate, a control gate
disposed on the intergate insulating layer and electrically insulated
from the floating gate, and source and drain regions which are aligned
with both sides of the control gate and formed within the semiconductor
body.
