Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a first region and a second region, gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a first direction, perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate, and extend in a second direction, and have different lengths on the second region, channel structures that penetrate the gate electrodes, extend in the first direction, and respectively include a channel layer on the first region, support structures that penetrate the gate electrodes and extend in the first direction on the second region, and a separation region that penetrates the gate electrodes and extend in the second direction. The substrate has a recess region that overlaps the separation region in the first direction and extends downward from an upper surface in the second region, adjacent to the first region. The separation region has a protrusion that protrudes downward to correspond to the recess region.
