Abstract

A three-dimensional semiconductor device includes a substrate including a cell array region and a contact region, a stack structure including gate electrodes sequentially stacked on the substrate, vertical structures penetrating the stack structure, and cell contact plugs connected to end portions of the gate electrodes in the contact region. Upper surfaces of the end portions of the gate electrodes have an acute angle with respect to an upper surface of the substrate in the cell array region.
