摘要： A vertical type semiconductor device can include a vertical pillar structure that includes a channel pattern with an outer wall. Horizontal insulating structures can be vertically spaced apart from one another along the vertical pillar structure to define first vertical gaps therebetween at first locations away from the outer wall and to define second vertical gaps therebetween at the outer wall, where the second vertical gaps are wider than the first vertical gaps. Horizontal wordline structures can be conformally located in the first and second vertical gaps between the vertically spaced apart horizontal insulating structures, so that the horizontal wordline structures can be vertically thinner across the first vertical gaps than across the second vertical gaps.

摘要： A vertical structure non-volatile memory device in which a gate dielectric layer is prevented from protruding toward a substrate; a resistance of a ground selection line (GSL) electrode is reduced so that the non-volatile memory device is highly integrated and has improved reliability, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes: sequentially forming a polysilicon layer and an insulating layer on a silicon substrate; forming a gate dielectric layer and a channel layer through the polysilicon layer and the insulating layer, the gate dielectric layer and the channel layer extending in a direction perpendicular to the silicon substrate; forming an opening for exposing the silicon substrate, through the insulating layer and the polysilicon layer; removing the polysilicon layer exposed through the opening, by using a halogen-containing reaction gas at a predetermined temperature; and filling a metallic layer in the space formed by removing the polysilicon layer.

摘要： Nonvolatile memory devices include at least four cylindrical-shaped channel regions, which extend vertically from portions of a substrate located at respective vertices of at least one rhomboid when viewed in a vertical direction relative to a surface of the substrate. A charge storage layer (e.g., ONO layer) is provided on an outer sidewall of each of the cylindrical-shaped channel regions. In addition, to achieve a high degree of integration, a plurality of vertically-stacked gate electrodes are provided, which extend adjacent each of the cylindrical-shaped channel regions.
