Abstract

According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes control gates provided in an array form, the control gates passing through the first semiconductor layer, data recording layers between the first semiconductor layer and the control gates, two first conductive-type diffusion layers at two ends in the first direction of the first semiconductor layer, two second conductive-type diffusion layers at two ends in the second direction of the first semiconductor layer, select gate lines extending in the first direction on the first semiconductor layer, and word lines extending in the second direction on the select gate lines. The select gate lines function as select gates shared by select transistors connected between the control gates and the word lines arranged in the first direction. Each of the word lines is commonly connected to the control gates arranged in the second direction.
