Patent ID: 8809935

Claim:
A semiconductor memory device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a columnar silicon layer extending in a vertical direction to the surface of the semiconductor substrate; a gate insulating film, a charge accumulation film and a block insulating film formed along a side wall surface of the columnar silicon layer, respectively; and a lamination structure section surrounding the columnar silicon layer via the gate insulating film, the charge accumulation film and the block insulating film, wherein, in the a lamination structure section, an interlayer insulating film and a control electrode film are alternately laminated in a horizontal direction to the surface of the semiconductor substrate in the lamination structure section, the interlayer insulating film being made up of a silicon oxide film, and an underlayer film is provided between the interlayer insulating film and the control electrode film, the underlayer film containing atoms selected from the group consisting of aluminum, boron, alkaline earth metal, silicon, yttrium, hafnium, zirconium and lanthanum.
