| 1. A nonvolatile memory device comprising:
a semiconductor substrate having a device isolation layer defining an active region;
a pair of nonvolatile memory transistors on the active region;
a select transistor disposed between the pair of nonvolatile memory transistors; and
floating diffusion regions on the active region between each of the nonvolatile memory transistors and the select transistor,
wherein the select transistor includes a gate insulation layer having a thickness and a material that are the same as those
of gate insulation layers of the nonvolatile memory transistors.
