Abstract

The semiconductor memory device includes a stacked structure including conductive patterns and interlayer insulating patterns which are alternately stacked, a through-hole configured to pass through the stacked structure; a channel pattern formed inside the through-hole, a first capping conductive pattern formed on the channel pattern, a second capping conductive pattern formed on a sidewall of the first capping conductive pattern and surrounding the first capping conductive pattern, and a contact plug formed on the first capping conductive pattern and the second capping conductive pattern.
