A nonvolatile memory device, includes: a lower side electrode aligned in a first direction; an upper side electrode positioned above the lower side electrode and aligned in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and a memory unit provided between the lower side electrode and the upper side electrode. At least one selected from the lower side electrode and the upper side electrode includes a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode having a forward-tapered side wall, the second electrode having a reverse-tapered side wall and being adjacent to the first electrode via an insulating layer in substantially identical plane.
