Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate with a cell array region and a connection region, an electrode structure including electrodes stacked on the substrate and having a staircase structure on the connection region, a vertical channel structure on the cell array region to penetrate the electrode structure and electrically connected to the substrate, a dummy structure on the connection region to penetrate the staircase structure, and a first sidewall oxide pattern interposed between the substrate and the dummy structure. The dummy structure includes an upper portion that is on the substrate, a middle portion that is in contact with the first sidewall oxide pattern, and a lower portion that is below the middle portion. With increasing vertical distance from the upper portion, a diameter of the middle portion decreases until it reaches its smallest value and then increases.
