Patent ID: 7502252

Claim:
A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprising: first and second regions formed in parallel to each other to define a first channel region therebetween; a first word line formed over the first channel region with an intervention of a first gate insulating film therebetween, the first word line extending in a first direction; a first bit line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, the first bit line crossing over the first and second regions and the first word line and having an electrical contact with the first region; a plurality of first element select lines extending in parallel to each other in the second direction, each of the first element select lines crossing over the first and second regions and the first word line; and a plurality of first memory elements, each of the first memory elements being disposed at an intersection of an associated one of the first element select lines and the second region and having electrical contacts with the associated one of the first element select lines and the second region.
