Abstract

The present disclosure includes a semiconductor memory device and a method of manufacturing the semiconductor memory device. The semiconductor memory device includes an insulating film passing through a dummy source structure, a first dummy stack extending to overlap the insulating film and the dummy source structure, and including a depression overlapping the insulating film, a resistive film overlapping the depression of the first dummy stack, and a second dummy stack disposed on the first dummy stack to cover the resistive film.
