Abstract

Provided are three-dimensional semiconductor devices. The devices may include gap-fill insulating patterns configured to upwardly extend from a substrate and an electrode structure defined by sidewalls of the gap-fill insulating patterns. Vertical structures may be provided between adjacent ones of the gap-fill insulating patterns to penetrate the electrode structure, and the vertical structures may include first and second rows of the vertical structures. A separation pattern may be provided between the first and second rows of vertical structures and include a separation semiconductor layer. The separation pattern extends along a direction parallel to the first and second rows of vertical structures.
