US Patent 9818757 Semiconductor device

This semiconductor device comprises a plurality of first conductive layers arranged above a substrate in a first direction intersecting an upper surface of the substrate. The conductive layers includes a portion in which positions of ends of the first conductive layers made different from each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction. Furthermore, this semiconductor device comprises a transistor electrically connected to the portion of the conductive layers. That transistor comprises: a channel layer extending in the first direction; a gate electrode layer disposed in a periphery of the channel layer; and a gate insulating layer disposed between the channel layer and the gate electrode layer.
