  • Patent number: 10804293
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate including a page buffer region, a memory cell array, bitlines, first vertical conduction paths, and second vertical conduction paths. The memory cell array is formed in a memory cell region above the semiconductor substrate and includes memory cells. The bitlines extend in a column direction above the memory cell array. Each of bitlines is cut into each of first bitline segments and each of second bitline segments. The first vertical conduction paths extend in a vertical direction and penetrate a column-directional central region of the memory cell region. The first vertical conduction paths connect the first bitline segments and the page buffer region. The second vertical conduction paths extend in the vertical direction and penetrate the column-directional central region. The second vertical conduction paths connect the second bitline segments and the page buffer region.
