A transistor having a vertical structure can include a substrate, a first electrode disposed on the substrate, a second electrode disposed on the substrate, an insulation pattern disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, an active layer connected between the first electrode and the second electrode, a channel area of the active layer disposed along a side surface of the insulation pattern and around an upper edge of the insulation pattern, a gate electrode disposed on the active layer, and a gate insulating film disposed between the gate electrode and the active layer.
