Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device includes: a memory cell structure on a peripheral circuit structure; a through wiring region on the peripheral circuit structure; and a barrier structure surrounding the through wiring region. The memory cell structure includes: gate electrodes and first interlayer insulating layers that are alternately stacked, the gate electrodes forming a step shape on the second region; a channel structure; and isolation regions penetrating through the gate electrodes. The through wiring region includes: second interlayer insulating layers and sacrificial insulating layers alternately stacked on the second region; and a through contact plug penetrating through the second interlayer insulating layers and the sacrificial insulating layers, and electrically connected to the circuit devices. Each of the sacrificial insulating layers includes a recess portion that is horizontally recessed from the barrier structure toward each of the sacrificial insulating layers.
