US Patent 10312239 Semiconductor memory including semiconductor oxie

According to one embodiment, a memory includes: a bit line; a source line; a pillar extending in a first direction and including an oxide semiconductor layer; first, second and third layers arranged along the first direction and opposed to a side of the pillar; a memory cell at an intersection between the first layer and the pillar, the memory cell including a charge storage layer in the oxide semiconductor layer; a first transistor at an intersection between the second layer and the pillar; and a second transistor at an intersection between the third layer and the pillar. A first end of the oxide semiconductor layer in the first direction is in contact with the source line, and a second end of the oxide semiconductor layer in the first direction is electrically disconnected from the bit line.
