A semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes a substrate, a stacked body including conductive layers and insulating layers alternately stacked on the substrate, and first contact plugs individually connected to the conductive layers on an end of the stacked body. The semiconductor device includes, on the substrate, a lower layer three-dimensional structure including any of a lower layer inclined structure continuously inclined upward with respect to a flat surface of the substrate, a lower layer stepped structure inclined upward in a stepwise manner with respect to the flat surface, and a lower layer composite stepped structure in which planes parallel to the flat surface and slopes inclined upward with respect to the flat surface are alternately continuous. At least some of terrace regions being connection regions to the first contact plugs on top surfaces of the conductive layers are located on the lower layer three-dimensional structure.
