Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a multi-layer wiring structure includes a first multi-layer section, first contact plugs, and pillars. First conductors and first insulators are alternately layered in the first multi-layer section. The multi-layer section includes a first area that includes memory cells, and a second area different from the first area. The first contact plugs are formed in the first holes extending from an uppermost layer of the first multi-layer section respectively to the first conductors in the second area, side surfaces of the first contact plugs being covered with first insulating films. The pillars are formed of second insulators and passing through the first multi-layer section in a layered direction in the second area.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein the collectively processing includes:\n forming a hard mask above the multi-layer section; processing the hard mask to form openings corresponding to shapes of the first holes and shapes of the second holes; forming a photoresist on the hard mask having the openings and processing the photoresist to form openings selectively corresponding to at least two first holes out of the first holes, the at least two first holes respectively corresponding to different replacement members; and simultaneously performing processing of the at least two first holes using the photoresist having the openings.
