    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first conductive line and a second conductive line spaced apart from the first conductive line. A semiconductor pattern is disposed between the first conductive line and the second conductive line. The semiconductor pattern includes a first semiconductor pattern having first-conductivity-type impurities disposed adjacent to the first conductive line. A second semiconductor pattern having second-conductivity-type impurities is disposed adjacent to the second conductive line. A third semiconductor pattern is disposed between the first semiconductor pattern and the second semiconductor pattern. The third semiconductor pattern includes a first region disposed adjacent to the first semiconductor pattern and a second region disposed between the first region and the second semiconductor pattern. At least one of the first region and the second region comprises an intrinsic semiconductor layer. A first gate line crosses the first region and a second gate line crosses the second region.

    Abstract: Three-dimensional semiconductor memory devices are provided. A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a stack structure that includes gate electrodes on a substrate. The three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a first vertical structure, a second vertical structure, a third vertical structure, and a fourth vertical structure that penetrate the stack structure and are sequentially arranged in a zigzag shape along a first direction. Moreover, the three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a first bit line that extends in the first direction. The first bit line vertically overlaps the second vertical structure and the fourth vertical structure. Centers of the second and fourth vertical structures are spaced apart at the same distance from the first bit line. The first vertical structure is spaced apart at a first distance from the first bit line. The third vertical structure is spaced apart at a second distance from the first bit line.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate electrode on a substrate, a channel surrounding sidewalls of the gate electrode on the substrate, and source/drain electrodes on the substrate at opposite sides of the gate electrode in a first direction parallel to an upper surface of the substrate. A thickness of the channel from the gate electrode to the source/drain electrodes in a horizontal direction parallel to the upper surface of the substrate is not constant but varies in a vertical direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate.
