A semiconductor device includes gate stacks disposed on a substrate and spaced apart from each other in a first direction, with a separation region interposed between the gate stacks; channel regions penetrating through the gate stacks and disposed within each of the gate stacks; and a guide region adjacent to the separation region, penetrating through at least a portion of the gate stack, and having a bent portion that is bent toward the separation region.

Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device includes a substrate having an upper surface extended in first and second directions perpendicular to each other, gate stack portions spaced apart from each other in the first direction, the gate stack portions including gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a direction perpendicular to the an upper surface of the substrate and having lateral surfaces extended in the second direction to have a zigzag form, channel regions penetrating through the gate stack portions and disposed to form columns having a zigzag form in the second direction, at least two channel regions among the channel regions being linearly arranged in the first direction within the respective gate stack portion, and a source region disposed between the gate stack portions adjacent to each other and extended in the second direction to have a zigzag form.
