Abstract
A semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment includes a memory cell array which has: a first conductive layer which is arranged in a first direction on a first semiconductor layer; a second conductive layer which is arranged in the first direction above the first conductive layer; a columnar second semiconductor layer which extends in the first direction; and a contact unit which electrically connects the first semiconductor layer and the second conductive layer. The contact unit has a first film which contains silicide as a first metal, and is in contact with the first semiconductor layer; and a second film which contains the first metal, is in contact with the first film, and is in contact with the first semiconductor layer with the first film interposed therebetween.
