Abstract

A semiconductor memory device having a first wiring layer which is provided on a first insulator, and which extends in a first direction, and a non-volatile memory cell which is provided in a pillar shape on the first wiring layer, and which includes a non-ohmic element and variable resistance element connected in series. The resistance value of the variable resistance element changes in accordance with a voltage or current applied thereto. A barrier layer is provided on the memory cell and is configured in an in-plane direction. A conductive layer is provided on the barrier layer and is configured in an in-plane direction. A second insulator is provided on the first insulator and covers side surfaces of the memory cell, the barrier layer, and the conductive layer. A second wiring layer is provided on the conductive layer and extends in a second direction.
