    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, a ground selection line, a word line, an insulating layer, a vertical channel portion, and a first peripheral circuit gate pattern. The substrate includes a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region. The ground selection line is on the cell array region. The word line is on the ground selection line. The insulating layer is between the ground selection line and the word line. The vertical channel portion penetrates the ground selection line, word line, and insulating layer in a direction vertical to a top surface of the substrate. The first peripheral circuit gate pattern is on the peripheral circuit region of the substrate. The insulating layer extends from the cell array region onto the peripheral circuit region to cover a top surface of the first peripheral circuit gate pattern.

    Abstract: 3D semiconductor memory devices may include a horizontal structure that may be on an upper surface of a substrate and may include first and second horizontal patterns sequentially stacked on the upper surface of the substrate, a stack structure including electrodes stacked on the horizontal structure, a vertical pattern extending through the electrodes and connected to the first horizontal pattern, and a separation structure intersecting the stack structure and the horizontal structure and protruding into the upper surface of the substrate. A lowermost electrode may have first inner sidewalls facing each other with the separation structure interposed therebetween. The second horizontal pattern may have second inner sidewalls facing each other with the separation structure interposed therebetween. A maximum distance between the first inner sidewalls in the first direction may be less than a maximum distance between the second inner sidewalls in the first direction.
