Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a tunnel insulating film, a charge trap film on the tunnel insulating film, and a block insulating film on the charge trap film. The charge trap film is between the tunnel insulating film and the block insulating film. A conductive film is on the block insulating film. The block insulating film is between the charge trap film and the conductive film. The conductive film includes a first metal film adjacent to the block insulating film and a second metal film on the first metal film. The first metal film is between the block insulating film and the second metal film. The first metal film has an interfacial roughness on a side facing the second metal film that is greater than an interfacial roughness on a side facing the block insulating film.
