Abstract
A semiconductor memory device and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are set forth. The semiconductor memory device includes a stack structure including a plurality of interlayer insulating layers and a plurality of gate electrodes, which may be alternately stacked on a substrate, and a plurality of channel structures penetrating the stack structure in a vertical direction. Each of the plurality of channel structures includes a channel layer, a tunnel insulating layer, an emission preventing layer, and a charge storage layer, each of which vertically extends toward the substrate.
