Abstract

A semiconductor device includes gate electrodes on a substrate, a channel and a resistance pattern. The gate electrodes are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate. The channel extends through the gate electrodes in the vertical direction on the substrate. The resistance pattern includes a phase-changeable material. The resistance pattern includes a first vertical extension portion on a sidewall of the channel and extending in the vertical direction, a first protrusion portion on an inner sidewall of the first vertical extension portion and protruding in a horizontal direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the substrate, and a second protrusion portion on an outer sidewall of the first vertical extension portion and protruding in the horizontal direction and not overlapping the first protrusion portion in the horizontal direction.
