Abstract
A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device in accordance with an embodiment comprises a lower electrode layer, a variable resistance layer, and an upper electrode layer. The lower electrode layer is provided over a substrate. The variable resistance layer is provided on the lower electrode layer and is configured such that an electrical resistance of the variable resistance layer can be changed. The upper electrode layer is provided on the variable resistance layer. The variable resistance layer comprises a carbon nanostructure and metal atoms. The carbon nanostructure is stacked to have a plurality of gaps. The metal atoms are diffused into the gaps.
