Abstract
A 3D semiconductor memory device includes a first through-structure on a substrate, the first through-structure comprising first and second conductive pillars spaced apart from each other in a first direction, an electrode adjacent to the first through-structure, the electrode horizontally extending in the first direction, and a ferroelectric layer and a channel layer between the electrode and the first and second conductive pillars. The channel layer connects the first and second conductive pillars to each other. The ferroelectric layer is disposed between the electrode and the channel layer. The ferroelectric layer extends from a sidewall of the first conductive pillar to a sidewall of the second conductive pillar along the channel layer when viewed in a plan view.
