Separate first and second floating gates for attracting carriers transferring in a transistor structure having a channel region and first and second main electrode regions into charge storage films therebelow are formed so as to largely face a control gate. The control gate between the separate first and second floating gates faces to the channel region via thin interlayer insulating layer. Therefore, a semiconductor device according to the present invention can inject electrons the charge storage film without causing writing errors in a writing operation, and therefore can increase in reliability thereof, control a writing voltage, prevent loss of the electrons stored in the charge storage film, and reliably apply a bias voltage to a channel region.
