Abstract
A semiconductor device includes first conductive layers, a width in a first direction thereof being a first width, a second conductive layer arranged with first conductive layers, a smaller one of a width in the first direction thereof and a width in a second direction thereof being a second width that is larger than the first width, a third conductive layer in contact with one end portion of at least one of first conductive layers, and a fourth conductive layer in contact with one end portion of the second conductive layer. The at least one of first conductive layers and the second conductive layer contain a first metal, a second metal, and oxygen (O). A concentration of the first metal of the at least one of first conductive layers is higher than a concentration of the first metal of the second conductive layer.
