1. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
a semiconductor substrate;
a first insulating film which is formed on the semiconductor substrate;
a floating gate electrode which is formed on the first insulating film and made of a conductive metal oxide comprising SrTiO3-x (0≤x≤1);
a second insulating film which is formed on the floating gate electrode, has a relative dielectric constant of not less than 7.8, and is made of an insulating metal oxide of a paraelectric material; and
a control gate electrode which is formed on the second insulating film and made of one of a metal and a conductive metal oxide.
