Patent attributes
A semiconductor memory device includes a stacked structure and a memory pillar. The stacked structure includes electrode layers and insulating layers alternately provided on a substrate. The memory pillar extends through the stacked structure in a thickness direction. The memory pillar includes a semiconductor layer extending along the thickness direction, and a first insulating film, a charge storage layer, and a second insulating film provided around the semiconductor layer. The charge storage layer contains fluorine, and a fluorine concentration in the charge storage layer has a gradient along a plane direction of the substrate with a peak. A first distance from an inner end of the charge storage layer to the peak in the plane direction is shorter than a second distance from an outer end of the charge storage layer to the peak in the plane direction.
