Abstract:
A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a substrate including a cell array region and a connection region and an electrode structure including first and second electrodes alternatingly and vertically stacked on the substrate and having a stair-step structure on the connection region. Each of the first and second electrodes may include electrode portions provided on the cell array region to extend in a first direction and to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, an electrode connecting portion provided on the connection region to extend in the second direction and to horizontally connect the electrode portions to each other, and protrusions provided on the connection region to extend from the electrode connecting portion in the first direction and to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction.

Claim (Index 1):
A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device, comprising:\n a substrate including a cell array region and a connection region; and first and second electrode structures, each comprising first and second electrodes alternatingly and vertically stacked on the substrate, wherein each of the first and second electrodes of the first and second electrode structures comprises: a plurality of electrode portions provided on the cell array region to extend in a first direction and to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; an electrode connecting portion provided on the connection region to extend in the second direction and to horizontally connect the electrode portions to each other; and at least one protrusion provided on the connection region to extend from the electrode connecting portion in the first direction, wherein, each of the first and second electrode structures has a first stair-step structure and a second stair-step structure on the connection region, wherein the protrusions of the first electrodes exposed by the second electrodes serve as first pad regions defining the first stair-step structure, and the protrusions of the second electrodes exposed by the first electrodes serve as second pad regions defining the second stair-step structure, wherein the second stair-step structure is adjacent to the first stair-step structure in the second direction.
