Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes: a fin that is a portion of a semiconductor substrate, protrudes from a main surface of the semiconductor substrate, has a width in a first direction, and extends in a second direction; a control gate electrode that is arranged on the fin via a first gate insulating film and extends in the first direction; and a memory gate electrode that is arranged on the fin via a second gate insulating film and extends in the first direction. Further, a width of the fin in a region in which the memory gate electrode is arranged via the second gate insulating film having a film thickness larger than the first gate insulating film is smaller than a width of the fin in a region in which the control gate electrode is arranged via the first gate insulating film.

Claim (Index 25):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:\n (a) providing a semiconductor substrate having a main surface, the main surface having a first region and a second region; (b) forming a first protruding portion that is a portion of the semiconductor substrate in the first region, protrudes from the main surface, has widths in a first direction of the main surface, and extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and forming a second protruding portion that is a portion of the semiconductor substrate in the second region, protrudes from the main surface, has widths in the first direction of the main surface, and extends in the second direction; (c) forming a first gate electrode over the first protruding portion via a first insulating film in the first region; (d) forming a second gate electrode over the first protruding portion via a second insulating film in the first region such that the second gate electrode is adjacent to the first gate electrode; (e) forming a third gate electrode over the second protruding portion via a third insulating film in the second region; (f) forming, in the first protruding portion, first semiconductor regions defined by the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode, and forming, in the second protruding portion, second semiconductor regions defined by the third gate electrode, wherein a film thickness of the second insulating film is larger than a film thickness of the first insulating film, wherein a first width of the first protruding portion in a region overlapped with the second gate electrode is larger than a second width of the second protruding portion in a region overlapped with the third gate electrode.
