Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor storage device includes a substrate, a wiring layer region on the substrate, a stacked body on the wiring layer region and in which conductive layers and insulating layers are alternately stacked in a first direction, and a columnar portion that includes a semiconductor body extending in the first direction through the stacked body and into the wiring layer region and a charge storage film surrounding the semiconductor body. The columnar portion includes a first columnar portion positioned at an end portion of the stacked body, a second columnar portion in the wiring layer region, and a connection portion between the first and second columnar portions. The semiconductor body in the connection portion has a first portion extending in a second direction, and the charge storage film in the connection portion has a second portion extending in the second direction and covers the first portion in the first direction.
