    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.

    Abstract: A vertical semiconductor device may include a stacked structure, a channel structure and a lower connection structure. The stacked structure may include insulation layers and gate electrodes alternately repeatedly stacked. The stacked structure may be spaced apart from an upper surface of a substrate. The channel structure may include a charge storage structure and a channel. The channel structure may pass through the stacked structure. The lower connection structure may be formed on the substrate. The lower connection structure may be electrically connected with the channel and the substrate. A sidewall of the lower connection structure may include a protrusion disposed at a central portion of the sidewall from the upper surface of the substrate in a vertical direction. The vertical semiconductor device may have a high reliability.
