  • Patent number: 9748263
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes string select lines extending in a first direction, vertical pillars connected to the string select lines, sub-interconnections on the string select lines, bitlines connected to the vertical pillars through the sub-interconnections, and upper contact plugs connecting the sub-interconnections to the bitlines. The string select lines include odd and even string select lines alternately arranged in a second direction. The sub-interconnections each connect a pair of vertical pillars respectively connected to one of the odd string select lines and one of the even string select lines that are adjacent to each other. Each of the upper contact plugs is between one of the sub-interconnections and one of the bitlines. Each of the upper contact plugs is arranged more adjacent to one string select line of the adjacent string select lines to which the pair of vertical pillars connected by the sub-interconnections are connected.

  • Patent number: 9287265
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate with an active region defined by a device isolation layer. A word line extends over the active region in a first direction, and a plurality of interconnections extends over the word line in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A contact pad is disposed between and spaced apart from the word line and the plurality of interconnections, extending in the first direction to overlap the plurality of interconnections and the active region when viewed from a plan view. A lower contact plug electrically connects the contact pad to the active region. An upper contact plug electrically connects the contact pad to one of the plurality of interconnections.
