Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a method is disclosed for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device. The method includes forming a first stopper film forming a lower gate layer, making a recess in the lower gate layer, filling a sacrificial film into the recess, forming a second stopper film, making an opening in the second stopper film, forming a stacked body. The stacked body includes electrode films and insulating films. The method includes, making a slit in the stacked body, making a hole in the stacked body, removing the sacrificial film via the hole, forming a memory film including a charge storage film. The method includes forming a channel body on a side wall of the memory film. An etching rate of the first stopper film and the second stopper film is lower than an etching rate of the electrode films and the insulating films.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device, comprising: forming a first stopper film on a substrate; forming a lower gate layer on the first stopper film; making a recess in the lower gate layer; filling a sacrificial film into the recess; forming a second stopper film on the sacrificial film and on the lower gate layer; making an opening in the second stopper film to expose a portion of the sacrificial film; forming a stacked body…
