    Abstract: A vertical semiconductor device includes a substrate with a first and second region. A conductive pattern on the first region extends in a first direction. The first region includes a cell region, a first dummy region and a second dummy region. The conductive pattern extends in a first direction. A pad is disposed on the second region, the pad contacts a side of the conductive pattern. A plurality of first dummy structures extends through the conductive pattern on the first dummy region. A plurality of second dummy structures extend through the conductive pattern on the second dummy region, the second dummy structures disposed in a plurality of columns that extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Widths of upper surfaces of the second dummy structures are different in each column, and the widths of upper surfaces of the second dummy structures increase toward the second region.

    Abstract: A 3D semiconductor memory device includes an electrode structure on a substrate, the electrode structure including gate electrodes stacked in a first direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate, a vertical semiconductor pattern penetrating the electrode structure and connected to the substrate, and a data storage pattern between the electrode structure and the vertical semiconductor pattern. The data storage pattern includes first, second and third insulating patterns sequentially stacked. Each of the first to third insulating patterns includes a horizontal portion extending in a second direction parallel to the top surface of the substrate. The horizontal portions of the first, second and third insulating patterns are sequentially stacked in the first direction.
