Semiconductor memory device and manufacturing method of the semiconductor memory device

Abstract

There are provided a semiconductor memory device and a manufacturing method of the semiconductor memory device. The semiconductor memory device includes a stack structure including interlayer insulating layers and conductive layers, which are alternately stacked therein; and a plurality of contact plugs formed vertically on the conductive layers. The stack structure is configured to have a stepped structure, and each of a plurality of steps included in the stepped structure includes at least two interlayer insulating layers, among the interlayer insulating layers, and at least two conductive layers, among the conductive layers. The plurality of contact plugs include at least two contact plugs respectively connected to the at least two conductive layers included in each of the plurality of steps.
