    Abstract: Memory devices may include a source region, channels, a gate insulation layer pattern, a selection gate pattern, a first gate pattern, a second gate pattern and a drain region. The source region may include first impurities having a first conductivity type at an upper portion of a substrate. The channels may contact the source region. Each of the channels may extend in a vertical direction that is perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate. The selection gate pattern may be on sidewalls of the channels. The first gate pattern may be on the sidewalls of the channels. The first gate pattern may be a common electrode of all of multiple channels. The second gate patterns may be on the sidewalls of the channels. The drain region may include second impurities having a second conductivity type that is different from the first conductivity type at an upper portion of each of the channels.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a stack structure including a plurality of layers vertically stacked on a substrate. Each of the plurality of layers includes a first dielectric layer, a semiconductor layer, and a second dielectric layer that are sequentially stacked, and a first conductive line in the second dielectric layer and extending in a first direction. The device also includes a second conductive line extending vertically through the stack structure, and a capacitor in the stack structure and spaced apart from the second conductive line. The semiconductor layer includes semiconductor patterns extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction between the first conductive line and the substrate. The second conductive line is between a pair of the semiconductor patterns adjacent to each other in the first direction. An end of each of the semiconductor patterns is electrically connected to a first electrode of the capacitor.
