    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes: a plurality of page buffers disposed on a substrate; and a plurality of pads exposed to one surface of a dielectric layer covering the page buffers, and coupled to the respective page buffers. The substrate comprises a plurality of high voltage regions and a plurality of low voltage regions which are alternately disposed in a second direction crossing a first direction. Each of the plurality of page buffers comprises a sensing unit and a bit line select transistor coupled between the sensing unit and the one of the plurality of pads. The bit line select transistors of the plurality of page buffers are disposed in the plurality of high voltage regions, and the plurality of pads are distributed and disposed in a plurality of pad regions which correspond to the high voltage regions and are spaced apart from each other in the second direction.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell; and a page buffer including a sensing circuit that is coupled to the memory cell through a bit line. The page buffer includes a first transistor included in the sensing circuit; and a second transistor not included in the sensing circuit. A cross-sectional dimension of a first contact which is coupled to the first transistor and a cross-sectional dimension of a second contact which is coupled to the second transistor are different from each other. The cross-sectional dimension of the second contact is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the first contact.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a stack disposed over a substrate defined with cell and connection areas; channel structures passing through the stack in the cell area; and slits defined in the stack. The stack includes first dielectric layers separately staked in the cell and connection areas; electrode layers disposed alternately with the first dielectric layers in the cell area and a periphery of the connection area adjacent to the slits; and second dielectric layers disposed alternately with the first dielectric layers in a central part of the connection area distant from the slits. A distance between the slits in the connection area is larger than a distance between the slits in the cell area, and, at a boundary between the periphery and the central part of the connection area, the electrode layers and the second dielectric layers disposed at the same layers are in contact with each other.
