Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment includes a memory cell array that includes memory cells and a plurality of first conducting layers. The memory cells are arrayed in a three-dimensional manner. The first conducting layers are connected to the memory cells and are arrayed in a laminating direction. Stepped wiring portion includes a plurality of second conducting layers. The plurality of second conducting layers connect the first conducting layers and external circuits. At least one of the plurality of second conducting layers includes a contact formation area on a top surface thereof in the stepped wiring portion positioned on the first side portion side. Other ones of the plurality of second conducting layers includes a contact formation area on a top surface thereof in the stepped wiring portion positioned on the second side portion side.
