Abstract

A three-dimensional semiconductor device may include a substrate including a cell array region, a word line contact region, and a peripheral circuit region, gate electrodes stacked on the substrate to extend from the cell array region to the word line contact region, a channel hole penetrating the gate electrodes on the cell array region and exposing an active region of the substrate, a dummy hole penetrating the gate electrodes on the word line contact region and exposing a device isolation layer provided on the substrate, and a semiconductor pattern provided in the channel hole but not in the dummy hole.
