Abstract

Provided is a method of manufacturing a memory device having a 3-dimensional structure, which includes alternately stacking one or more dielectric layers and one or more sacrificial layers on a substrate, forming a through hole passing through the dielectric layers and the sacrificial layers, forming a pattern filling the through hole, forming an opening passing through the dielectric layers and the sacrificial layers, and supplying an etchant through the opening to remove the sacrificial layers. The stacking of the dielectric layers includes supplying the substrate with one or more gases selected from the group consisting of SiH4, Si2H6, Si3H8, and Si4H10, to deposit a silicon oxide layer. The stacking of the sacrificial layers includes supplying the substrate with one or more gases selected from the group consisting of SiH4, Si2H6, Si3H8, Si4H10, and dichloro silane (SiCl2H2), and ammonia-based gas, to deposit a silicon nitride layer.
