Abstract

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment includes a plurality of cell array layers, each cell array layer including: a plurality of semiconductor layers that extends in a first direction; gate insulating layers; a plurality of floating gates arranged in the first direction; inter-gate insulating layers; and a plurality of control gates that extends in a second direction intersecting semiconductor layers, and faces the floating gates via the inter-gate insulating layers, in which, in the cell array layers adjacent each other in a stacking direction, the control gates of a lower cell array layer and the control gates of the an upper cell array layer are intersecting each other, and the floating gates within the lower cell array layer and the semiconductor layers within the upper cell array layer are aligned in position with each other.
