Abstract

A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a substrate including a peripheral circuit region and a cell array region, a plurality of peripheral gate stacks disposed in the peripheral circuit region, and an electrode structure disposed in the cell array region. The electrode structure includes a lower electrode, a lower insulating layer disposed on the lower electrode, and upper electrodes and upper insulating layers alternately stacked on the lower insulating layer. The lower insulating layer extends from the cell array region into the peripheral circuit region and covers the peripheral gate stacks. The lower insulating layer includes a first lower insulating layer and a second lower insulating layer sequentially stacked on one another. The first lower insulating layer includes a first insulating material, and the second lower insulating layer includes a second insulating material different from the first insulating material.
