Abstract:
A substrate processing method includes stacking a plurality of stack structures each including an insulating layer and a sacrificial layer, on one another. The method also includes generating a stair structure by etching the stack structures and generating a separation layer on a side surface of the stair structure. The method further includes removing the sacrificial layer and generating conductive word line structures in spaces from which the sacrificial layer is removed. The separation layer is provided between the conductive word line structures.

Claim (Index 20):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a substrate; at least one memory cell string protruding and extending in an upward direction from the substrate; a first word line connected to a first memory cell of the memory cell string; and a second word line connected to a second memory cell of the memory cell string, wherein at least one of the first and second word lines comprises: a first conductive layer extending toward a channel; and a second conductive layer provided on the first conductive layer, and wherein the second conductive layer comprises a first protrusion protruding from the first conductive layer in a horizontal direction.
