Abstract

According to an embodiment, a memory device comprises a conductive layer containing a metal, a semiconductor layer on the conductive layer, electrode layers stacked on the semiconductor layer in a stacking direction, a semiconductor pillar penetrating the electrode layers in the stacking direction and electrically connected to the semiconductor layer, and a charge trap layer between the electrode layers and the semiconductor pillar. The conductive layer has a recess or a through-hole below the semiconductor pillar.
