    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor memory device includes alternately and repeatedly stacking sacrificial layers and insulating layers on a substrate, forming an active pattern penetrating the sacrificial layers and the insulating layers, continuously patterning the insulating layers and the sacrificial layers to form a trench, removing the sacrificial layers exposed in the trench to form recess regions exposing a sidewall of the active pattern, forming an information storage layer on the substrate, forming a gate conductive layer on the information storage layer, such that the gate conductive layer fills the recess regions and defines an empty region in the trench, the empty region being surrounded by the gate conductive layer, and performing an isotropic etch process with respect to the gate conductive layer to form gate electrodes in the recess regions, such that the gate electrodes are separated from each other.

    Abstract: Methods of fabricating a three-dimensional semiconductor memory device are provided. A method may include forming a mold structure on a substrate including channel regions and a non-channel region between the channel regions, and forming, on the mold structure, a multilayered mask layer including a first mask layer, an etch stop layer, and a second mask layer that are sequentially stacked. The multilayered mask layer may include mask holes exposing the mold structure in the channel regions, dummy mask holes exposing the first mask layer in the non-channel region, and buffer spacers covering sidewalls of the second mask layer exposed by the mask holes and the dummy mask holes. The method may include etching the mold structure using the multilayered mask layer as an etch mask to form channel holes in the channel regions.

    Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor devices may be provided. A method of forming a semiconductor device may include patterning first and second material layers to form a first through region exposing a substrate. The method may include forming a first semiconductor layer in the first through region on the substrate and on sidewalls of the first and second material layers. In some embodiments, the method may include forming a buried layer filling the first through region on the first semiconductor layer. In some embodiments, the method may include removing a portion of the buried layer to form a second through region between the sidewalls of the first and second material layers. Moreover, the method may include forming a second semiconductor layer in the second through region.
