There is provided a semiconductor storage device which is capable of further reducing a size of a memory cell, and increasing a storage capacity. Plural memory cells each including a transistor formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a variable resistive device having a resistance value changed by voltage supply and connected between source and drain terminals of the transistor are arranged longitudinally and in an array to configure a three-dimensional memory cell array. A memory cell structure has a double channel structure in which an inside of a switching transistor is filled with a variable resistance element, particularly, a phase change material. The switching transistor is turned off by application of a voltage to increase a channel resistance so that a current flows in the internal phase change material to operate the memory.

A technique used for a semiconductor device formed by stacking multiple structural bodies each having a semiconductor device, for preventing generation of thermal load on a structural body at a lower layer which is caused by a laser used in a step of forming a structural body at an upper layer. In a phase-change memory including multiple stacked memory matrices, a metal film is disposed between a memory matrix at a lower layer and a memory matrix at an upper layer formed over the memory matrix at the lower layer, in which the laser used for forming the memory matrix is reflected at the metal film and prevented from transmitting the metal film, thereby preventing the phase-change material layer, etc. in the memory matrix at the lower layer from being directly heated excessively by the laser.

The invention provides a voltage applying structure having a reduced area penalty with respect to a data line. A wiring forming a global data line and a local data line formed in a p-type well region are connected via a select transistor. Two select lines are formed on a gate electrode of the select transistor. One select line is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the select transistor, however, the other select line is not connected to the select transistor. That is, an insulator film is formed between the select line and the gate electrode. As mentioned above, two select lines shorter than a gate length are provided on one select transistor. The select line is structured such as to be connected to the other select transistor.

By decreasing the threshold voltage shift due to the potential change of the cells adjacent in a word line direction, the reliability of a flash memory can be enhanced. Memory cells of a flash memory are formed in p-type wells of a semiconductor substrate and include gate insulator films, floating gates, high-K insulator films, and control gates (word lines). The floating gates and control gates (word lines) are isolated by high-K insulator films. The plurality of memory cells arrayed in row a direction are isolated by isolation trenches extending in a column direction. In the isolation trenches, a silicon oxide film is embedded. In the silicon oxide film, an air gap is provided. A lower end of the air gap extends near to the bottom of the isolation trench, and its upper end extends further above the upper surface of the high-K insulator film covering the floating gate.

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device that uses inversion layers formed on a surface of its semiconductor substrate as data lines, which is capable of satisfying the requirements of suppressing both characteristic variation among memory cells and bit cost. In order to achieve the above object, in the memory device, a plurality of assist gates are formed so as to be embedded in a p-type well via a silicon oxide film, respectively and silicon nanocrystal grains of about 6 nm in average diameter used for storing information are formed without being in contact with one another. Then, a plurality of word lines are formed practically in a direction vertically to the assist gates and the space between adjacent those of the plurality of word lines is set under ½ of the width (gate length) of the word lines. Consequently, the inversion layers formed at side faces of the assist gates will be used as local data lines, thereby the resistance is lowered and the writing characteristic variation among memory cells in a memory mat is suppressed.
