Abstract:
A vertical memory device includes a gate electrode structure on a substrate, and a channel. The gate electrode structure includes gate electrodes spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate. The channel extends through the gate electrode structure in the vertical direction on the substrate. The channel includes a first portion having a slanted sidewall with respect to the upper surface of the substrate and a second portion contacting an upper surface of the first portion and having a slanted sidewall with respect to the upper surface of the substrate. A width of an upper surface of the second portion is less than a width of the upper surface of the first portion. An impurity region doped with carbon or p-type impurities is formed at an upper portion of the substrate. The channel contacts the impurity region.

Claim (Index 18):
The vertical memory device of  claim 16 , further comprising:\n a filling pattern filling a space defined by an inner sidewall of the upper channel; and a pad on the filling pattern, the upper channel, and the charge storage structure, wherein the gate electrode structure includes at least one first gate electrode, a plurality of second gate electrodes over the first gate electrode, and at least one third gate electrode over the plurality of second gate electrodes, the at least one first gate electrode serves as a GSL, the plurality of second gate electrodes serve as word lines, and the at least one third gate electrode serves as an SSL.
