    Abstract: Methods of fabricating a three-dimensional semiconductor memory device are provided. A method may include forming a mold structure on a substrate including channel regions and a non-channel region between the channel regions, and forming, on the mold structure, a multilayered mask layer including a first mask layer, an etch stop layer, and a second mask layer that are sequentially stacked. The multilayered mask layer may include mask holes exposing the mold structure in the channel regions, dummy mask holes exposing the first mask layer in the non-channel region, and buffer spacers covering sidewalls of the second mask layer exposed by the mask holes and the dummy mask holes. The method may include etching the mold structure using the multilayered mask layer as an etch mask to form channel holes in the channel regions.

    Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor devices may be provided. A method of forming a semiconductor device may include patterning first and second material layers to form a first through region exposing a substrate. The method may include forming a first semiconductor layer in the first through region on the substrate and on sidewalls of the first and second material layers. In some embodiments, the method may include forming a buried layer filling the first through region on the first semiconductor layer. In some embodiments, the method may include removing a portion of the buried layer to form a second through region between the sidewalls of the first and second material layers. Moreover, the method may include forming a second semiconductor layer in the second through region.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a three-dimensional semiconductor memory device comprising intergate dielectric layers and electrode layers alternately stacked on a substrate, a vertical semiconductor pattern that penetrate the intergate dielectric layers and the electrode layers and extends into the substrate, blocking dielectric patterns between the vertical semiconductor pattern and the electrode layers, a tunnel dielectric layer between the blocking dielectric patterns and the vertical semiconductor pattern and in contact with the blocking dielectric patterns and simultaneously with the intergate dielectric layers, and first charge storage patterns between the blocking dielectric patterns and the tunnel dielectric layer. One of the first charge storage patterns is in contact with top and bottom surfaces of one of the blocking dielectric patterns.
