A first insulating interlayer is formed on a substrate including first and second regions. The first insulating interlayer has top surface, a height of which is greater in the first region than in the second region. A first planarization stop layer and a second insulating interlayer are formed. The second insulating interlayer is planarized until the first planarization stop layer is exposed. The first planarization stop layer and the first and second insulating interlayers in the second region are removed to expose the substrate. A lower mold structure including first insulation layer patterns, first sacrificial layer patterns and a second planarization stop layer pattern is formed. The first insulation layer patterns and the first sacrificial layer patterns are alternately and repeatedly formed on the substrate, and a second planarization stop layer pattern is formed on the first insulation layer pattern.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device including a channel layer includes forming a single crystalline semiconductor layer on a semiconductor substrate. The single crystalline semiconductor layer includes a protrusion extending from a surface thereof. A first polishing process is performed on the single crystalline semiconductor layer to remove a portion of the protrusion such that the single crystalline semiconductor layer includes a remaining portion of the protrusion. A second polishing process different from the first polishing process is performed to remove the remaining portion of the protrusion and define a substantially planar single crystalline semiconductor layer having a substantially uniform thickness. A sacrificial layer may be formed on the single crystalline semiconductor layer and used as a polish stop for the first polishing process to define a sacrificial layer pattern, which may be removed prior to the second polishing process. Related methods of fabricating stacked semiconductor memory devices are also discussed.
