Abstract: In one embodiment, the semiconductor device includes a stack of alternating interlayer insulating layers and conductive layers on a substrate. Each of the conductive layers extends in a first direction less than a previous one of the conductive layers to define a landing portion of the previous one of the conductive layers. An insulating plug is in one of the conductive layers under one of the landing portions, and a contact plug extends from an upper surface of the one of the landing portions.

Abstract: A vertical memory device includes gate electrodes on a substrate, a channel extending through the gate electrodes, and a contact plug extending through the gate electrodes. The gate electrodes are stacked in a first direction substantially vertical to an upper surface of the substrate and arranged to have a staircase shape including steps of which extension lengths in a second direction substantially parallel to the upper surface gradually increase from a lowermost level toward an uppermost level. A pad at an end portion of each of the gate electrodes in the second direction has a thickness greater than those of other portions thereof. The channel extends in the first direction. The contact plug extends in the first direction. The channel contacts the pad of a first gate electrode among the gate electrodes to be electrically connected thereto, and is electrically insulated from second gate electrodes among the gate electrodes.

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.
