Each of the channel structures may extend to the upper surface of the substrate, and each of the channel structures may include a charge storage structure and a channel. Ones of the channel structures may pass through the sacrificial pattern in the stacked structure to the upper surface of the substrate, and may extend to the upper surface of the substrate.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) semiconductor device includes a stack structure including first and second stacks stacked on a substrate. Each of the first and second stacks includes a first electrode and a second electrode on the first electrode. A sidewall of the second electrode of the first stack is horizontally spaced apart from a sidewall of the second electrode of the second stack by a first distance. A sidewall of the first electrode is horizontally spaced apart from the sidewall of the second electrode by a second distance in each of the first and second stacks. The second distance is smaller than a half of the first distance.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes stacking an etch target layer, a first mask layer, and a second mask layer on a first surface of a substrate. A plurality of first spacer lines are formed parallel to each other and a first spacer pad line on the second mask layer is formed. A third mask pad in contact with at least the first spacer pad line on the second mask layer is formed. The second mask layer and the first mask layer are etched to form one or more first mask lines, a first mask preliminary pad, and second mask patterns. Second spacer lines are respectively formed covering sidewalls of the first mask preliminary pad and the first mask lines. First mask pads are formed. The etch target layer is etched to form conductive lines and conductive pads connected to the conductive lines.
