  • Patent number: 10983884
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device may replace a defective string selection line connected to a defective string of a defective memory block among a plurality of memory blocks with a replacement string selection line of a repair memory block; and access the replacement string selection line of the repair memory block instead of the defective string selection line of the defective memory block. The non-volatile memory device performs a repair operation in units of string selection lines and may efficiently use repair resources.

  • Patent number: 10134756
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of cell gate electrodes on a semiconductor substrate. End portions of the cell gate electrodes include stepped-pad regions that extend in a direction parallel to a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Vertical structures are on the semiconductor substrate and pass through the plurality of cell gate electrodes. The vertical structures respectively include a channel layer. Upper peripheral transistors are disposed on the semiconductor substrate. The upper peripheral transistors include an upper peripheral gate electrode at a level higher than a level of the plurality of cell gate electrodes, body patterns passing through the upper peripheral gate electrode and electrically connected to the pad regions, and gate dielectric layers between the upper peripheral gate electrode and the body patterns.
