Abstract

Methods of fabricating a vertical cell semiconductor device including forming a hole passing through a stacked structure of alternating insulating and sacrificial layers on a substrate, forming an amorphous silicon layer conforming to an inner wall of the hole, forming a silicon region on the amorphous silicon layer, and metal induced crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer via the silicon region to form a single-crystalline channel structure in the hole.
