Abstract

A non-volatile memory device includes: a first line extending along a main surface of a substrate; a stack provided above the first line; a second line formed above the stack; a select element provided where the first and second lines intersect, the select element adapted to pass current in a direction perpendicular to the main surface; a second insulator film provided along a side surface of the stack; a channel layer provided along the second insulator film; an adhesion layer provided along the channel layer; and a variable resistance material layer provided along the adhesion layer, wherein the first and second lines are electrically connected via the select element and channel layer, a contact resistance via the adhesion layer between the channel layer and variable resistance material layer is low, and a resistance of the adhesion layer is high with respect to an extending direction of the channel layer.
