Abstract
A vertical memory device includes first, second and third impurity regions sequentially stacked in a first direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of a substrate, a gate electrode structure including gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in the first direction on the third impurity region, a channel extending through the gate electrode structure, the second and third impurity regions, and an upper portion of the first impurity region on the substrate in the first direction, and a charge storage structure covering a portion of an outer sidewall and a lower surface of the channel. The channel directly contacts a sidewall of the second impurity region.
