A multi-storage nonvolatile memory of high density, high speed and high reliability has a memory transistor and switch transistors disposed on both the sides of the memory transistor. The memory transistor includes a gate insulating film having discrete traps and a memory gate electrode, whereas the switch transistors include switch gate electrodes. The gate insulating film has the discrete traps for storing information charge, can locally inject carriers, and one memory cell constitutes a multi-storage cell for storing at least information of 2 bits. The switch transistors having the switch gate electrodes realize source side injection. The memory transistor is fommed together with the switch transistors in self-aligned diffusion. The memory gate electrode of the memory transistor is connected to a word line so as to perform word-line erase.

A contact connected to a word line is formed on a gate electrode of an access transistor of an SRAM cell. The contact passes through an element isolation insulating film to reach an SOI layer. A body region of a driver transistor and that of the access transistor are electrically connected with each other through the SOI layer located under the element isolation insulating film. Therefore, the access transistor is in a DTMOS structure having the gate electrode connected with the body region through the contact, which in turn is also electrically connected to the body region of the driver transistor. Thus, operations can be stabilized while suppressing increase of an area for forming the SRAM cell.

An element larger than silicon is ion-implanted to a contact liner in an N-channel region to break constituent atoms of the contact liner in the N-channel region. An element larger than silicon is ion-implanted to the contact liner in a P-channel region to break constituent atoms of the contact liner, oxygen or the like is ion-implanted. Thereafter, heat treatment is performed to cause shrinkage of the contact liner in the N-channel region to form an n-channel contact liner, and to cause expansion of the contact liner in the P-channel region to form a p-channel contact liner.

Image data is separated from three lines of image data in accordance with a storage capacity of a source memory. The separated image data is transferred to the source memory, Several pieces of image data are read out in sequence from the transferred image data and forwarded to a filtering process. These operations are then repeated to provide a line of filtered image data.
