Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor substrate a gate structure extending in a vertical direction on the semiconductor device, a plurality of charge trap layers spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction and each having a horizontal cross-section with a first ring shape surrounding the gate structure, a plurality of semiconductor patterns spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction and each having a horizontal cross-section with a second ring shape surrounding the plurality of charge trap layers, a source region and a source line at one end of each of the plurality of semiconductor patterns in a horizontal direction, and a drain region and a drain line at an other end of each of the plurality of semiconductor patterns in the horizontal direction. The gate structure may include a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode layer.
