Abstract

A semiconductor device of the embodiment includes first and second conductive layer; a silicon nitride layer between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer; a silicon oxide layer between the silicon nitride layer and the second conductive layer; a silicon oxynitride layer between the silicon oxide layer and the second conductive layer; and a third conductive layer between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the third conductive layer electrically connected to the first and second conductive layer, a first tilt angle of a plane where the third conductive layer is in contact with the silicon oxynitride layer with respect to an interface between the silicon nitride layer and the silicon oxide layer is smaller than a second tilt angle of a plane where the third conductive layer is in contact with the silicon oxide layer with respect to the interface.
