Abstract

A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device comprises: a memory cell region having a memory cell disposed therein; a peripheral region including a first stepped structure in which an end of a lower first layer is further from the memory cell region than is an end of an upper first layer; and a second stepped structure disposed on the first stepped structure, in which an end of a lower third layer is disposed further from the memory cell region than is an end of an upper third layer, a length in a second direction being shorter than a length in the second direction of the first layer or the second layer contacted by the second stepped structure, and a length in a third direction of the second stepped structure being shorter than a length in the third direction of the first layer or the second layer contacted by the second stepped structure.
