    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes insulating patterns and gate patterns alternately stacked on a substrate, a channel structure that intersects the insulating patterns and the gate patterns and connected to the substrate, a charge storage structure between the channel structure and the gate patterns, and a contact structure on the substrate at a side of the insulating patterns and the gate patterns. One of the gate patterns includes a first barrier pattern between a first insulating pattern of the insulating patterns and a second insulating pattern of the insulating patterns adjacent the first insulating pattern in a first direction perpendicular to a main surface of the substrate, the first barrier pattern defining a concave region between a first portion of the first barrier pattern extending along the first insulating pattern and a second portion extending along the second insulating pattern, and a metal pattern in the concave region.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same may be provided. The semiconductor devices may include gate patterns and insulation patterns repeatedly and alternatingly stacked on a substrate. The semiconductor devices may also include a through region penetrating the gate patterns and the insulation patterns. The semiconductor devices may further include a channel structure extending from the substrate through the through region. The channel structure may include a first channel pattern having a first shape. The first channel pattern may include a first semiconductor region on a sidewall of a portion of the through region, and a buried pattern dividing the first semiconductor region. The channel structure may also include a second channel pattern having a second shape. The second channel pattern may include a second semiconductor region in the through region. A grain size of the second semiconductor region may be larger than that of the first semiconductor region.

    摘要: Methods of forming nonvolatile memory devices include forming a vertical stack of nonvolatile memory cells on a substrate. This is done by forming a vertical stack of spaced-apart gate electrodes on a first sidewall of a vertical silicon active layer and treating a second sidewall of the vertical silicon active layer in order to reduce crystalline defects within the active layer and/or reduce interface trap densities therein. This treating can include exposing the second sidewall with an oxidizing species that converts a surface of the second sidewall into a silicon dioxide passivation layer. A buried insulating pattern may also be formed directly on the silicon dioxide passivation layer.
