Abstract

Methods of forming a semiconductor device are provided. The methods may include forming first and second layers that are alternately and repeatedly stacked on a substrate, and forming an opening penetrating the first and second layers. The methods may also include forming a first semiconductor pattern in the opening. The methods may additionally include forming an insulation pattern on the first semiconductor pattern. The methods may further include forming a second semiconductor pattern on the insulation pattern. The methods may also include providing dopants in the first semiconductor pattern. Moreover, the methods may include thermally treating a portion of the first semiconductor pattern to form a third semiconductor pattern.
