Abstract
According to an embodiment, a semiconductor memory device comprises: an insulating layer disposed on a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of memory cell arrays being arranged three-dimensionally on the insulating layer and including a plurality of conductive layers stacked in a first direction that intersects a surface of the semiconductor substrate; and a block insulating layer covering a side surface of one of the plurality of conductive layers. A high permittivity layer is provided between the insulating layer and a lowermost layer of the plurality of conductive layers. A permittivity of the high permittivity layer is much higher than that of the insulating layer.
