Abstract
Semiconductor memory devices may include a semiconductor substrate, a first stack disposed on the semiconductor substrate and a second stack disposed on the first stack. The first stack may include a plurality of first word lines with a plurality of first line pads stacked in a stair form, and the second stack may include a plurality of second word lines with a plurality of second line pads stacked in a stair form. The second stack may be shifted on the first stack such that sides of the plurality of first word line pads are exposed.
