Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a first conductive layer, a semiconductor layer extending in a first direction and being opposed to the first conductive layer, and a gate insulating film disposed between the first conductive layer and the semiconductor layer. The first conductive layer includes a first region, a second region disposed between the first region and the gate insulating film, and a third region disposed between the first region and the first interlayer insulating layer. The first to the third regions contain a metal. The third region contains silicon (Si). The first region does not contain silicon (Si) or has a lower silicon (Si) content than a silicon (Si) content in the third region. The second region does not contain silicon (Si) or has a lower silicon (Si) content than the silicon (Si) content in the third region.
