    Abstract: A vertical memory device may include a first conductive line structure and an address decoder. The first conductive line structure may be on a substrate. The first conductive line structure may include conductive lines and insulation layers alternately and repeatedly stacked in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. The address decoder may be connected to a first end of each of conductive lines included in the first conductive line structure. The address decoder may apply electrical signal to the conductive lines. In each of the conductive lines, a first portion adjacent to the first end and a second portion adjacent to a second end may have different shapes. A first resistance in the first portion may be lower than a second resistance in the second portion. RC delay of the conductive lines may be reduced.
