  • Patent number: 9768018
    Abstract: The inventive concepts provide semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the same. According to the method, sub-stack structures having a predetermined height and active holes are repeatedly stacked. Thus, cell dispersion may be improved, and various errors such as a not-open error caused in an etching process may be prevented. A grain size of an active pillar used as channels may be increased or maximized using a metal induced lateral crystallization method, so that a cell current may be improved. A formation position of a metal silicide layer including a crystallization inducing metal may be controlled such that a concentration grade of the crystallization inducing metal may be controlled depending on a position within the active pillar.
