Abstract:
A semiconductor device may include a substrate, an electrode structure including electrodes stacked on the substrate, an upper semiconductor pattern penetrating at least a portion of the electrode structure, and a lower semiconductor pattern between the substrate and the upper semiconductor pattern. The upper semiconductor pattern includes a gap-filling portion and a sidewall portion extending from the gap-filling portion in a direction away from the substrate, the lower semiconductor pattern includes a concave top surface, the gap-filling portion fills a region enclosed by the concave top surface, a top surface of the gap-filling portion has a rounded shape that is deformed toward the substrate, and a thickness of the sidewall portion is less than a thickness of the gap-filling portion.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:\n forming a fourth semiconductor pattern between the second semiconductor layer and the inner side surface of the vertical insulating layer, wherein the forming of the fourth semiconductor pattern includes,\n forming a fourth semiconductor layer to conformally cover the inner side surface of the vertical insulating layer and the concave top surface, \n thermally treating the fourth semiconductor layer to crystallize the fourth semiconductor layer, and \n performing an anisotropic etching process on the crystallized fourth semiconductor layer to form the fourth semiconductor pattern.
