Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a stacked body; a semiconductor body; and charge storage film. The stacked body includes the plurality of electrode layers separately stacked each other. The semiconductor body is provided in the stacked body and extends in a stack direction of the stacked body and includes an oxide semiconductor. The charge storage film is provided between the semiconductor body and the plurality of electrode layers.

Claims (33)

1 .- 16 . (canceled)

17 . A method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device, comprising:

forming a stacked body on a conductive layer;

forming a first hole piercing the stacked body and extending in a stacking direction of the stacked body;

forming a film on a side wall of the first hole, the film including a charge storage film;

forming a semiconductor body inside the film including the charge storage film, the semiconductor body including an oxide semiconductor;

forming a second hole piercing a bottom of the first hole and reaching the conductive layer; and

forming a conductive film inside the second hole and electrically connecting the semiconductor body to the conductive layer.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein

the conductive film is formed inside the semiconductor body as well,

oxidizing the conductive film formed inside the semiconductor body, and

leaving the conductive film formed inside the second hole as a contact unit.

19 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein

the second hole is formed in a state covering a side wall of the semiconductor body with a mask film.

20 . The method according to claim 19 , wherein

the mask film is an insulating film, and is removed before the forming the conductive film.

21 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein

the stacked body includes a plurality of electrode layers separately stacked each other.

22 . A method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device, comprising:

forming a stacked body on a conductive layer, the stacked body including a plurality of silicon including layers separately stacked each other;
