    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor memory devices. An example semiconductor memory device comprises a substrate, a structure including word lines and interlayer insulating films alternately stacked on the substrate, a channel region disposed between two adjacent word lines in a vertical direction, a first source/drain region disposed on a first side of the channel region, a second source/drain region disposed on a second side of the channel region, a bit line which extends in the vertical direction on the substrate and is connected to the first source/drain region, a capping insulating film disposed between the bit line and the word lines, and a data storage connected to the second source/drain region. At least a part of the first source/drain region protrudes from a sidewall of the capping insulating film toward the bit line.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a memory device and an operating method thereof. The memory device includes a bitline sense amplifier connected to a bitline and a complementary bitline connected to a memory cell, and a sense amplifier driver circuit. The bitline sense amplifier senses and amplifies a voltage difference by developing a voltage of the bitline and a voltage of the complementary bitline. The sense amplifier driver circuit includes a pull-up circuit adjusting a level of a bitline low-level voltage developed by the bitline sense amplifier to be higher than a ground voltage in response to a first pull-up pulse, and a pull-down circuit adjusting the level of the bitline low level adjusted by the pull-up circuit to be equal to the ground voltage in response to a pull-down pulse. A pulse generator generates the first pull-up pulse and the pull-down pulse based on a command received from a host.
