Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a connecting member including a semiconductor material, a first electrode film, a first insulating film, a stacked body and three or more semiconductor pillars. The stacked body includes second electrode films and second insulating films that alternately stacked. The semiconductor pillars are arrayed along two or more directions, extend in a stacking direction, pierce through the stacked body and the first insulating film, and are connected to the connecting member. The device includes a third insulating film provided between the semiconductor pillars and the stacked body and between the connecting member and the first electrode film. A charge storage layer is provided at least between one of the second electrode films and the third insulating film.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, a stacked body, a semiconductor pillar, a charge storage film, and a drive circuit. The stacked body is provided on the substrate. The stacked body includes a plurality of insulating films alternately stacked with a plurality of electrode films. A through-hole is made in the stacked body to align in a stacking direction. The semiconductor pillar is buried in an interior of the through-hole. The charge storage film is provided between the electrode film and the semiconductor pillar. The drive circuit supplies a potential to the electrode film. The diameter of the through-hole differs by a position in the stacking direction. The drive circuit supplies a potential to reduce a potential difference with the semiconductor pillar as a diameter of the through-hole piercing the electrode film decreases.
