Claim 19:
20. The non-volatile memory device of claim 18, wherein a first pass transistor of the plurality of pass transistors is disposed between a first signal line of a plurality of signal lines and a first wordline of the plurality of wordlines,
wherein the first pass transistor includes a channel extending in the vertical direction from the first signal line through the gate,
wherein a width of the channel between the gate and the first wordline is greater than a width of the channel below the gate, and
wherein a first channel structure of the plurality of channel structures has a first width at an area between the ground selection line and the first wordline, the channel of the first pass transistor has a second width at an area between the gate and the first wordline, the second width being greater than the first width.
