Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a source layer includes a semiconductor layer including an impurity. A stacked body includes a plurality of electrode layers stacked with an insulator interposed. A gate layer is provided between the source layer and the stacked body. The gate layer is thicker than a thickness of one layer of the electrode layers. A semiconductor body extends in a stacking direction of the stacked body through the stacked body and the gate layer. The semiconductor body further extends in the semiconductor layer where a side wall portion of the semiconductor body contacts the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor body does not contact the electrode layers and the gate layer.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:\n forming a sacrificial layer above a first semiconductor layer; forming a second semiconductor layer above the sacrificial layer; forming an insulating layer above the second semiconductor layer; forming a gate layer above the insulating layer, the gate layer being thicker than the second semiconductor layer; forming a stacked body above the gate layer, the stacked body including a plurality of first layers and a plurality of second layers, the first layers and the second layers including a first layer and a second layer stacked alternately; forming a semiconductor body inside a hole, the hole piercing the stacked body, the gate layer, the insulating layer, the second semiconductor layer, and the sacrificial layer; forming a slit after the forming of the semiconductor body, the slit piercing the stacked body, the gate layer, the insulating layer, and the second semiconductor layer and reaching the sacrificial layer; forming an air gap between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer by removing the sacrificial layer through the slit; exposing a portion of the semiconductor body in the air gap; and forming a third semiconductor layer inside the air gap, the third semiconductor layer including an impurity and contacting the portion of the semiconductor body.
