Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor pillar including a semiconductor layer and extending along a first direction, a first wiring extending along a second direction crossing the first direction, a first electrode between the semiconductor pillar and the first wiring, a first insulating layer between the first electrode and the first wiring and adjacent to the first electrode, a second insulating layer between the first insulating layer and the first wiring and adjacent to the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer having a higher dielectric constant than the first insulating layer, and a third insulating layer between the second insulating layer and the first wiring. A shortest distance between the second insulating layer and the semiconductor layer in the second direction is greater than a shortest distance between the first electrode and the semiconductor layer in the second direction.
