Abstract

According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile memory device includes a first conductive member and a second conductive member. The first conductive member extends in a first direction. The second conductive member extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction. A portion of the first conductive member connected to the second conductive member protrudes toward the second conductive member. A resistivity of the first conductive member in the first direction is lower than a resistivity of the first conductive member in a third direction of the protrusion of the first conductive member. A resistance value of the first conductive member in the third direction changes. A resistivity of the second conductive member in the second direction is lower than a resistivity of the second conductive member in the third direction. A resistance value of the second conductive member in the third direction changes.
