Abstract

A three-dimensional memory device includes a first electrode structure and a second electrode structure extending in a first direction, being adjacent to each other in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and each including a plurality of electrode layers and a plurality of interlayer dielectric layers which are alternately stacked on a source plate; a plurality of first slimming holes formed in the first electrode structure to expose pad regions of the electrode layers of the first electrode structure, and arranged in the first direction; and a plurality of second slimming holes formed in the second electrode structure to expose pad regions of the electrode layers of the second electrode structure, and arranged in the first direction, wherein a first slimming hole and a second slimming hole which are adjacent in the second direction have different depths.
