Abstract
A semiconductor device includes word lines disposed on a substrate and spaced apart in a first direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate, a string select line disposed on the word lines, memory strings extending in the first direction on the substrate, each memory string including a first channel extending in the first direction through the word lines, and memory cells constituted by the word lines around the first channel, bit lines electrically connected to the memory strings, and a strapping line connected to the string select.
Claims1
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a plurality of word lines disposed on a substrate and spaced apart in a first direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate;
