Abstract

According to one embodiment, a memory device includes first and second conductive layers, a variable resistance portion, and a multiple tunnel junction portion. The variable resistance portion is provided between the first and second conductive layers. The multiple tunnel junction portion is provided between the first conductive layer and the variable resistance portion, and includes first, second, and third tunnel insulating films, and first and second nanocrystal layers. The first nanocrystal layer between the first and second tunnel insulating films includes first conductive minute particles. The second nanocrystal layer between the second and third tunnel insulating films includes second conductive minute particles.
