    摘要: A memory device may include L semiconductor layers, a gate structure on each of the semiconductor layers, N bitlines, and/or a common source line on each of the semiconductor layers. The L semiconductor layers may be stacked, and/or L may be an integer greater than 1. The N bitlines may be on the gate structures and crossing over the gate structures, and/or N may be an integer greater than 1. Each of the common source lines may be connected to each other such that the common source lines have equipotentiality with each other.

    摘要: A phase change memory device includes a mold layer disposed on a substrate, a heating electrode, a filling insulation pattern and a phase change material pattern. The heating electrode is disposed in an opening exposing the substrate through the mold layer. The heating electrode is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, having its sidewalls conformally disposed on the lower inner walls of the opening. The filling insulation pattern fills an empty region surrounded by the sidewalls of the heating electrode. The phase change material pattern is disposed on the mold layer and downwardly extended to fill the empty part of the opening. The phase change material pattern contacts the top surfaces of the sidewalls of the heating electrode.
