Abstract
A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, and a stack structure on the substrate. The stack structure includes first blocks that extend in a first direction and are arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a second block that is between the first blocks; separation structures that extend in the first direction and are arranged in the second direction between the first blocks and between the first and second blocks; vertical channel structures that penetrate the first blocks and contact the substrate; and through-via structures that penetrate the second block and the substrate. A width of each of the first blocks in the second direction is equal to a width of the second block in the second direction.
