Abstract
In a semiconductor device including a nonvolatile memory, information of a memory transistor of an unselected bit is accidentally erased during information write operation. A well region is provided in a memory region of a bulk region defined in a SOI substrate. A memory transistor having an LDD region and a diffusion layer is provided in the well region. A raised epitaxial layer is provided on the surface of the well region. The LDD region is provided from a portion of the well region located directly below a sidewall surface of a gate electrode to a portion of the well region located directly below the raised epitaxial layer. The diffusion layer is provided in the raised epitaxial layer.
