ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory device has a memory region which is formed on a semiconductor substrate and in which a plurality of memory cells each including a memory transistor are arranged as a matrix using a plurality of impurity diffusion layers (bit lines) and a plurality of gate electrodes (word lines) intersecting each other. The gate electrode of each of the memory transistors has an upper surface thereof formed into a protruding portion which is higher in level at the middle portion than at the edge portions. A silicide layer is formed on the upper surface of the protruding portion of the gate electrode of each of the memory transistors.
