Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a lower layer, a stacked body above the lower layer with first conductive layers and first insulating layers alternately stacked. A pillar penetrates through the stacked body to reach the lower layer. At least one first insulating layer other than the lowest among the first insulating layers in a first region of the stacked body is thicker than first insulating layers in a second region above the first region. The pillar has a first bowing shape at the height of the at least one thicker first insulating layer and a second bowing shape at a height in the second region.
