Method for fabricating nonvolatile memory device

Abstract

A method for fabricating a nonvolatile memory device is disclosed. The method includes forming a first structure for a common source line on a semiconductor substrate, the first structure extending along a first direction, forming a mold structure by alternately stacking a plurality of sacrificial layers and a plurality of insulating layers on the semiconductor substrate, forming a plurality of openings in the mold structure exposing a portion of the first structure, and forming a first memory cell string at a first side of the first structure and a second memory cell string at a second, opposite side of the first structure. The plurality of openings include a first through-hole and a second through-hole, each through-hole passing through the plurality of sacrificial layers and plurality of insulating layers, and the first through-hole and the second through-hole overlap each other in the first direction.
