| 1. A stack-type nonvolatile semiconductor device comprising:
a) a first memory device formed on a substrate, the device including:
a semiconductor body elongated in one direction on the substrate, and having a cross section perpendicular to a main surface
of the substrate and to the elongated direction, the cross section having a predetermined curvature;
a channel region partially formed on the semiconductor body along the circumference of the semiconductor body;
a tunneling insulating layer disposed on the channel region;
a floating gate disposed on the tunneling insulating layer and electrically insulated from the channel region;
a high dielectric constant material layer disposed on the floating gate;
a metallic control gate disposed on the high dielectric constant material layer and electrically insulated from the floating
gate; and
source and drain regions which are adjacent to sides of the metallic control gate and formed on the semiconductor body;
an inter-insulating layer disposed on the first memory device; and
a conductive layer disposed on the inter-insulating layer; and
b) a second memory device formed on the conductive layer, the device including:
a semiconductor body elongated in one direction on the conductive layer, and having a cross section perpendicular to a main
surface of the conductive layer and to the elongated direction, the cross section having a predetermined curvature;
a channel region partially formed on the semiconductor body along the circumference of the semiconductor body;
a tunneling insulating layer disposed on the channel region;
a floating gate disposed on the tunneling insulating layer and electrically insulated from the channel region;
a high dielectric constant material layer disposed on the floating gate;
a metallic control gate disposed on the high dielectric constant material layer and electrically insulated from the floating
gate; and
