Abstract
A three-dimensional non-volatile memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells repeatedly arranged in a first lateral direction, a second lateral direction, and a vertical direction on a substrate. The first lateral direction and the second lateral direction are parallel to a main surface of the substrate and perpendicular to each other, and the vertical direction is perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate. The memory cell array includes a plurality of horizontal channel regions and a vertical word line. The plurality of horizontal channel regions extend in the first lateral direction on the substrate. The plurality of horizontal channel regions overlap each other and are apart from each other in the vertical direction. The vertical word line passes through the plurality of horizontal channel regions in the vertical direction.
