Vertical memory devices and methods of manufacturing vertical memory devices

Abstract

A vertical memory device and a method of manufacturing the same, the device including a cell array including cell regions spaced apart from each other in a second direction, each cell region including a regularly arranged plurality of vertical channels; bit-lines extending in the second direction, the bit-lines being spaced apart from each other in a first direction crossing the second direction; and bit-line contacts respectively electrically connecting the vertical channels and the bit-lines, wherein each cell region includes a sub isolation region configured to electrically isolate the cell region in the second direction, the sub isolation region extending in the first direction, the vertical channels are classified into a plurality of types according to a distance from the sub isolation region in the second direction in each cell region, and the bit-line contacts are configured to electrically connect each bit-line to at least two vertical channels having different types.
