Abstract

The inventive concept provides methods of manufacturing three-dimensional semiconductor devices. In some embodiments, the methods include forming a stack structure including sacrificial layers and insulation layers, forming a trench penetrating the stack structure, forming a hydrophobic passivation element on the surfaces of the insulation layers that were exposed by the trench and selectively removing the sacrificial layers.
