Abstract

Three-dimensional semiconductor devices may be provided. The devices may include a stack-structure including gate patterns and an insulation pattern. The stack-structure may further include a first portion and a second portion, and the second portion of the stack-structure may have a narrower width than the first portion. The devices may also include an active pattern that penetrates the stack-structure. The devices may further include a common source region adjacent the stack-structure. The devices may additionally include a strapping contact plug on the common source region.
