SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND DATA STORAGE SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SAME: abstract simplified (18070536)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18070536 Titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND DATA STORAGE SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SAME'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a semiconductor device that consists of various structures. These structures include a source structure, two stack structures with gate electrodes, a dummy structure with additional gate electrodes, separation regions, channel structures, and source contact structures. The stack structures and dummy structure are spaced apart from each other, and the separation regions are spaced apart as well. The channel structures pass through the stack structures and are connected to the source structure. The source contact structures pass through the dummy structure and are connected to the source structure through the lower surface of the contact layer.

Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor device includes a source structure, first and second stack structures, including first gate electrodes stacked on the source structure to be spaced apart from each other; a dummy structure on the source structure between the first and the second stack structures, and including second gate electrodes stacked to be spaced apart from each other; first separation regions passing through the first and second stack structures, and spaced apart from each other; second separation regions extending between each of the first and second stack structures and the dummy structure; channel structures passing through the first and second stack structures, and respectively including a channel layer, connected to the source structure through the channel layer; and first source contact structures passing through the dummy structure, and respectively including a first contact layer connected to the source structure through a lower surface of the first contact layer.
