    Abstract: A vertical NAND-type memory device includes a vertical stack of inter-gate insulating layers and gate electrodes arranged in an alternating sequence on an underlying substrate, which includes a cell array region and a contact region therein. At least one NAND-type channel structure is provided, which extends vertically through the vertical stack of inter-gate insulating layers and gate electrodes. An end sidewall of a first of the gate electrodes, which extends laterally over at least a portion of the contact region, has a vertical slope that is less steep than vertical slopes of end sidewalls of a first plurality of the gate electrodes extending between the first of the gate electrodes and the substrate.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes lower and upper selection lines, a cell gate structure, a lower dummy structure and an upper dummy structure. The cell gate structure is between the lower and upper selection lines and includes cell gate electrodes stacked in a first direction. The lower dummy structure is between the lower selection line and the cell gate structure and includes a lower dummy gate line spaced from a lowermost one of the cell gate electrodes by a first distance. The upper dummy structure is between the upper selection line and the cell gate structure and includes an upper dummy gate line spaced from an uppermost one of the cell gate electrodes by a second distance. The cell gate electrodes are spaced by a third distance less than each of the first and second distances.
