Abstract

A semiconductor memory device, including: plural parallel first lines; plural second lines disposed to intersect the first lines; and a memory cell array including memory cells, disposed at intersections of the first lines and the second lines, each of the memory cells configured by a rectifier element and a variable resistor connected in series. The rectifier element includes: a first semiconductor region including an impurity of a first conductivity type at a first impurity concentration; and a second semiconductor region including an impurity of a second conductivity type at a second impurity concentration lower than the first impurity concentration and including an impurity of the first conductivity type at a third impurity concentration lower than the second impurity concentration, the first and second semiconductor regions being formed by silicon.
