Abstract
A vertical memory device includes a plurality of memory blocks having a plurality of horizontal gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a first direction and extending in a second direction. A plurality of vertical channels extends through the horizontal gate electrodes in the first direction. A plurality of charge storage structures are disposed between the vertical channels and the horizontal gate electrodes. A conductive path extends in a third direction. The plurality of memory blocks are arranged in the third direction and are divided from each other by a first division pattern that extends in the second direction. The plurality of horizontal gate electrodes at each level are connected to the conductive path at a first lateral side in the second direction to form a shared memory block.
