Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array layer which includes a first wiring line, a memory cell stacked on the first wiring line, and a second wiring line formed on the memory cell so as to intersect the first wiring line, wherein a step is formed in the first wiring line so that the height of an upper surface of the first wiring line in the memory cell array region where the memory cell array is formed is higher than the height in a peripheral region around the memory cell array region.
