Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a peripheral circuit structure including circuits, wiring layers, and via contacts, a plate common source line covering the peripheral circuit structure, an insulating plug passing through the plate common source line, a lateral insulating spacer between the peripheral circuit structure and the plate common source line, a memory stack structure including gate lines on the plate common source line, a through contact passing through at least one of the gate lines and the insulating plug, the through contact being connected to a first via contact of the via contacts, and a source line contact passing through the lateral insulating spacer, the source line contact being between a second via contact of the via contacts and the plate common source line, wherein a width of the first via contact is greater than a width of the insulating plug in a lateral direction.
