Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a stacked body of N (N is an integer of 2 or more) layers stacked on a semiconductor substrate and openings different in depth surrounded by the stacked body and separated from each other.

Claims (9)

1. A manufacturing method for a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a three-dimensional structure on a semiconductor substrate;

forming a guide pattern corresponding to openings in the three-dimensional structure on the three-dimensional structure;

forming resist films different in thickness divided by the guide pattern on the three-dimensional structure;

etching the three-dimensional structure via the resist films such that the openings are different in depth, wherein

the forming resist films different in thickness divided by the guide pattern on the three-dimensional structure includes:

forming resist films equal in thickness and different in area in the guide pattern on the three-dimensional structure; and

reflowing the resist films to cause differences in the thickness of the resist films.

2. The manufacturing method for a semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein differences are made in crude density of a light-shielding pattern in an exposure mask for use in light exposure of the resist films to cause differences in areas of the resist films.
