Abstract

A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes: a stacked body including a plurality of first conductive films stacked via an inter-layer insulating film; a first conductive body contacting the stacked body to extend in a stacking direction; and a plurality of first insulating films in the same layers as the first conductive films and disposed between the first conductive body and the first conductive films, the first conductive body including a projecting part that projects along tops of one of the first insulating films and one of the first conductive films, and a side surface of the projecting part contacting an upper surface of the one of the first conductive films.

Claims (20)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a first conductive body and a second conductive body, each of the conductive bodies facing the stacked body to extend in the first direction, the first conductive body contacting the first conductive film, and the second conductive body contacting the second conductive film;

a first insulating film disposed in the same layer as the first conductive film and disposed between the first conductive body and the first conductive film;

a second insulating film disposed in the same layer as the second conductive film and disposed between the second conductive body and the second conductive film,

the first conductive body including a first projecting part that projects along upper surfaces of the first insulating film and the first conductive film, and a lower surface of the first projecting part contacting the upper surface of the first conductive film;

the second conductive body including a second projecting part that projects along upper surfaces of the second insulating film and the second conductive film, and a lower surface of the second projecting part contacting the upper surface of the second conductive film;

a third insulating film configured from a material different from that of the first insulating film and the second insulating film, disposed on the first conductive film and disposed in the same layer as the first projecting part of the first conductive body; and

a fourth insulating film configured from a material different from that of the first insulating film and the second insulating film, disposed on the second conductive film and disposed in the same layer as the second projecting part of the second conductive body.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a fifth insulating film configured from the same material as the first insulating film, and disposed above the third insulating film and the first projecting part.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third conductive film extending in the first direction; and

a plurality of memory cells disposed at intersections of the first conductive film, the second conductive film and the third conductive film.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductive body contacts the second conductive film disposed in an uppermost layer at a certain position of the stacked body when viewed from the first direction.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a third conductive body disposed between a semiconductor substrate and the first conductive film, wherein
