    Abstract: A vertical memory device includes a gate electrode structure on a substrate, and a channel. The gate electrode structure includes gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate. The channel extends through the gate electrode structure in the vertical direction on the substrate. The channel includes a first portion having a slanted sidewall with respect to the upper surface of the substrate and a second portion contacting an upper surface of the first portion and having a slanted sidewall with respect to the upper surface of the substrate. A width of an upper surface of the second portion is less than a width of the upper surface of the first portion. An impurity region doped with carbon or p-type impurities is formed at an upper portion of the substrate. The channel contacts the impurity region.

    Abstract: A vertical memory device includes insulating interlayer patterns, of gate electrodes, a channel, and a charge storage pattern structure. The insulating interlayer patterns are spaced in a first direction. The gate electrodes between are neighboring insulating interlayer patterns, respectively. The channel extends through the insulating interlayer patterns and the gate electrodes in the first direction. The charge storage pattern structure includes a tunnel insulation pattern, a charge trapping pattern structure, and a blocking pattern sequentially stacked between the channel and each of the gate electrodes in a second direction. The charge trapping pattern structure includes charge trapping patterns spaced in the first direction. The charge trapping patterns are adjacent to sidewalls of first gate electrodes, respectively. A first charge trapping pattern extends in the first direction along a sidewall of a first insulating interlayer pattern.
