Abstract
According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes a foundation layer; and a stacked body provided on the foundation layer, each of a plurality of electrode layers and each of a plurality of insulating layers being stacked alternately in the stacked body; a select gate electrode provided on the stacked body; and a semiconductor layer extending from an upper end of the select gate electrode to a lower end of the stacked body. The stacked body includes a plurality of staircase regions. The each of the plurality of electrode layers includes an exposed portion. The exposed portion is not covered with the plurality of electrode layers other than the each of the plurality of electrode layers and the plurality of insulating layers. And the exposed portion of each of the plurality of electrode layers is disposed in one of the plurality of staircase regions.
