Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes: a memory string including first and second select transistors and memory cell transistors; a bit line connected to the first select transistor; word lines which are connected to gates of the memory cell transistors, respectively; first and second select gate lines which are connected to gates of the first and second select transistors, respectively; a first contact plug connected to the first select gate line; a first wiring layer provided on the first contact plug; a second contact plug connected to the second select gate line; a second wiring layer provided on the second contact plug; and a row decoder connected to the first and second wiring layers. The row decoder applies different voltages to the first select gate line and the second select gate line.
