1. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
- a conductive layer and an insulating layer that are disposed above a semiconductor substrate;
a first plate that extends through the conductive layer and the insulating layer in a first direction which crosses a surface of the semiconductor substrate and also extends in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
a second plate that extends through the conductive layer and the insulating layer in the first direction and also extends in the second direction, and is spaced apart from the first plate in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions; and
a plurality of pillars that extend through the conductive layer and the insulating layer in the first direction and are between the first and second plates in the third directionwherein a surface of the first plate has convex portions and non-convex portions, and a surface of the second plate has convex portions and non-convex portions, andwherein the surface of first plate faces each of the plurality of pillars with no other pillar between the first plate and said each pillar, and the surface of second plate faces each of the plurality of pillars with no other pillar between the second plate and said each pillar.

Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a conducting layer and an insulating layer that are disposed above a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of pillars that extend in a direction which crosses a surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a plate that is disposed between the plurality of pillars and extends in the same direction as the pillars. A surface of the plate, which faces the pillars, has convex portions and non-convex portions.
