  • Publication number: 20230422499
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a first staircase portion that is arranged in a staircase region at a position that overlaps a plate-like portion in a stacking direction, in which a plurality of conductive layers is terraced in a first direction; and a second staircase portion and a third staircase portion arranged in the staircase region on both sides in a second direction of the plate-like portion, and having structures in each of which the plurality of conductive layers is terraced, and that are mutually inverted in the second direction with respect to the plate-like portion. A plurality of first plugs is individually arranged at different positions in the second direction relative to the plate-like portion, depending on positions in the first direction, and a plurality of second plugs is individually arranged at positions inverted in the second direction from the respective positions of the plurality of first plugs, with respect to the plate-like portion.

  • Patent number: 11744071
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array; a first insulating layer; and a passivation film. The memory cell array includes first interconnect layers and a first memory pillar. The first interconnect layers extend in a first direction substantially parallel to a semiconductor substrate. The first memory pillar passes through the first interconnect layers and extends in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate. The first insulating layer is provided above the memory cell array. The passivation film is provided on the first insulating layer, and includes a protrusion at least above the memory cell array and between the passivation film and the first insulating layer.
