Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) nonvolatile memory includes a stacked structure that includes a plurality of conductive layers that alternate with and are spaced apart from each other by a plurality of interlayer insulating layers. The stacked structure includes a first cell region, a second cell region spaced apart from the first cell region, and a connection region between the first cell region and the second cell region. The connection region includes a first step portion that contacts the first cell region and has a stepped shape that descends in a direction approaching the second cell region, a second step portion that contacts the second cell region and has a stepped shape that descends in a direction approaching the first cell region, and a connection portion that connects the first cell region and the second cell region.

Claim (Index 16):
A three-dimensional (3D) nonvolatile memory comprising:\n a lower region that includes a lower substrate and a peripheral circuit on the lower substrate; an upper substrate on the lower region; a stacked structure on the upper substrate that includes a plurality of conductive layers that alternate with and are spaced apart from each other by a plurality of interlayer insulating layers; and a plurality of contacts that electrically connect each of the plurality of conductive layers to the peripheral circuit, wherein the stacked structure includes a first cell region, a second cell region spaced apart from the first cell region, and a connection region between the first cell region and the second cell region, the connection region includes a first step portion that contacts the first cell region and has a stepped shape that descends in a direction toward the second cell region, and a connection portion that connects the first step portion and the second cell region, and the plurality of contacts are disposed in the first step portion.
