Abstract

A vertical memory device includes a substrate, a plurality of channels on the substrate and extending in a vertical direction with respect to a top surface of the substrate, a plurality of non-metal gate patterns surrounding the channels and being stacked on top of each other and spaced apart from each other along the vertical direction, and a plurality of metal gate patterns stacked on top of each other. The metal gate patterns are spaced apart from each other along the vertical direction. Each of the metal gate patterns surrounds a corresponding one of the non-metal gate patterns.
