Abstract

A semiconductor apparatus includes gate electrodes and interlayer insulating layers alternately stacked on a substrate, channel regions penetrating through the gate electrodes and the interlayer insulating layers, a conductive layer extending from an uppermost layer among the interlayer insulating layers to the substrate by penetrating through the gate electrodes and the interlayer insulating layers between the channel regions, and having an uneven pattern on an outer side wall thereof, a spacer layer disposed on the outer side wall, and a barrier layer disposed on at least one side surface of the spacer layer, wherein the spacer layer and the barrier layer have different etch selectivities.
