Abstract

A non-volatile memory device may include a semiconductor substrate including an active region at a surface thereof, a ground select line crossing the active region, and a string select line crossing the active region and spaced apart from the ground select line. A plurality of memory cell word lines may cross the active region between the ground select line and the string select line with about a same first spacing provided between adjacent ones of the plurality of word lines and between a last of the plurality of memory cell word lines and the string select line. A second spacing may be provided between the ground select line and a first of the plurality of memory cell word lines.
