Abstract
A memory device includes a first conductive layer; a second conductive layer provided above the first conductive layer; a plurality of electrode layers stacked above the second conductive layer; a semiconductor pillar extending through the plurality of electrode layers and the second conductive layer, and connected to the first conductive layer; and a third conductive layer provided above the first conductive layer. The third conductive layer is positioned at a level substantially same as a level of the second conductive layer in an extension direction of the semiconductor pillar, and is made of a material same as a material of the second conductive layer. The third conductive layer is electrically isolated from the second conductive layer, and is electrically connected to the first conductive layer.
