ABSTRACT:
A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device of a split gate structure having a gate of low resistance suitable to the arrangement of a memory cell array is provided. When being formed of a side wall spacer, a memory gate is formed of polycrystal silicon and then replaced with nickel silicide. Thus, its resistance can be lowered with no effect on the silicidation to the selection gate or the diffusion layer.
