Abstract
The semiconductor device includes a stacked structure having alternately stacked conductive patterns and interlayer insulating patterns, a through-hole passing through the stacked structure, a channel pattern formed in the through-hole and protruding from an inside of the through hole over the through-hole, and a capping conductive pattern formed to be in contact with the protruded channel pattern and have a width greater than the through-hole.
Claims14
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
- alternately stacking first material layers and second material layers, wherein the second material layers are formed of a different material from the first material layers;
- forming a mask pattern including a first opening area on the stacked first and second material layers;
- forming a through-hole passing through the stacked first and second material layers by etching the stacked first and second material layers exposed by the first opening area;
- forming a channel pattern protruding from an inside of the through-hole over the through-hole;
- reducing a size of the mask pattern to define a second opening area, wherein the second opening area has a width greater than the first opening area and exposes a part of the uppermost surface of the stacked first and second material layers;
- forming a capping conductive pattern filling the second opening area;
- and
- removing the reduced mask pattern.
