Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, transistors formed in an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, a stacked body provided on the semiconductor substrate, a first contact, and a second contact. The transistors are arranged along a first direction. A minimum period of an arrangement of the transistors is a first period. The stacked body includes electrode films. A configuration of a first portion of the stacked body is a staircase-like having terraces. A first region and a second region are set along the first direction in the first portion. A length in the first direction of the terrace disposed in the second region is longer than the first period. A length in the first direction of the terrace disposed in the first region is shorter than the first period.
