Abstract

A memory device may include L semiconductor layers, a gate structure on each of the semiconductor layers, N bitlines, and/or a common source line on each of the semiconductor layers. The L semiconductor layers may be stacked, and/or L may be an integer greater than 1. The N bitlines may be on the gate structures and crossing over the gate structures, and/or N may be an integer greater than 1. Each of the common source lines may be connected to each other such that the common source lines have equipotentiality with each other.
