A memory device includes n (n being an integer of 2 or more) resistance change films being series connected to each other. Each of the resistance change films is a superlattice film in which plural pairs of a first crystal layer made of a first compound and a second crystal layer made of a second compound are alternately stacked. An average composition of the entire resistance change film or an arrangement pitch of the first crystal layers and the second crystal layers are mutually different among the n resistance change films.
