Abstract

A semiconductor memory device including a plurality of layers each including a memory cell array and which are stacked over each other; and at least one power plane for supplying power to the layers. The power plane includes a region to which a power voltage is applied and a region to which a ground voltage is applied. The region to which a power voltage is applied is located adjacent to the region to which a ground voltage is applied, and forms a decoupling capacitor therebetween to decouple an influx of power noise to the layers or generation of power noise in the layers.
