  • Patent number: 11973022
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a line; a source structure on the line; a stack structure on the source structure; a first slit structure penetrating the stack structure; a second slit structure penetrating the stack structure; and a contact plug adjacent to the first slit structure in a first direction. The first slit structure and the second slit structure may be spaced apart from each other by a first distance in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The contact plug penetrates the source structure, the contact plug being electrically connected to the lower line. The first slit structure and the contact plug may be spaced apart from each other by a second distance in the first direction, and the second distance may be longer than the first distance.

  • Patent number: 11587941
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a stacked structure including trenches having different depths, forming an insulating layer on the stacked structure to fill the trenches, and forming a plurality of protrusions located corresponding to locations of the trenches by patterning the insulating layer. The method also includes forming insulating patterns filling the trenches, respectively, by planarizing the patterned insulating layer including the plurality of protrusions.
