Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a peripheral circuit structure, a semiconductor layer, a source conductive layer, a connecting mold layer, a support conductive layer, a buried insulating layer, a gate stack structure, a mold structure, a channel structure and a supporter through the gate stack structure, a THV through the mold structure and the buried insulating layer, a dam structure between the gate stack structure and the mold structure, an upper supporter layer on the dam structure, and a word line separation layer through the gate stack structure and the upper supporter layer. The dam structure includes a first spacer, a second spacer inside the first spacer, a lower supporter layer connected to the upper supporter layer and partially on or covering an inner side wall of the second spacer, and an air gap with a side wall defined by the second spacer and a top end defined by the lower supporter layer.
