A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor pattern on a semiconductor substrate, a three-dimensional memory array on the semiconductor pattern, and a peripheral interconnection structure between the semiconductor pattern and the semiconductor substrate. The peripheral interconnection structure includes an upper interconnection structure on a lower interconnection structure. The upper interconnection structure includes an upper interconnection and an upper barrier layer. The lower interconnection structure includes a lower interconnection and a lower barrier layer. The upper barrier layer is under a bottom surface of the upper interconnection and does not cover side surfaces of the upper interconnection. The lower barrier layer is under a bottom surface of the lower interconnection and covers side surfaces of the lower interconnection.

Provided are three-dimensional semiconductor devices and methods of operating the same. The three-dimensional semiconductor devices may include active patterns arranged on a substrate to have a multi-layered and multi-column structure and drain patterns connected to respective columns of the active patterns. The methods may include a layer-selection step connecting a selected one of layers of the active patterns selectively to the drain patterns. For example, the layer-selection step may be performed in such a way that widths of depletion regions to be formed in end-portions of the active patterns are differently controlled depending on to a height from the substrate.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor memory device includes forming a mold stack on a substrate and the mold stack including first sacrificial layers and second sacrificial layers alternately stacked on the substrate. The method also includes forming a plurality of vertical channels that penetrate the mold stack and that contact the substrate, patterning the mold stack to form word line cuts between the vertical channels, the word line cuts exposing the substrate, removing one of the first and second sacrificial layers to form recessed regions in the mold stack, forming a data storage layer, at least a portion of the data storage layer being formed between the vertical channels and the gates, forming gates in the recessed regions, forming air gaps between the gates by removing the other of the first and second sacrificial layers, and forming an insulation layer pattern in the word line cuts.
