    摘要: A vertical memory device includes gate electrodes on a substrate. The gate electrodes are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction. A channel penetrates the gate electrodes and extends in the vertical direction. A tunnel insulation pattern is formed on an outer sidewall of the channel. A charge trapping pattern structure is formed on an outer sidewall of the tunnel insulation pattern adjacent the gate electrodes in a horizontal direction. The charge trapping pattern structure includes upper and lower charge trapping patterns. A blocking pattern is formed between the charge trapping pattern structure and each of the adjacent gate electrodes. An upper surface of the upper charge trapping pattern is higher than an upper surface of the adjacent gate electrode. A lower surface of the lower charge trapping pattern is lower than a lower surface of an adjacent gate electrode.
