Abstract

A {111} plane of a substrate having a silicon crystal structure meets a top surface of the substrate to form an interconnection line on the top surface. A first stacked structure and a second stacked structure is formed on the substrate. Each of the first and the second stacked structures includes gate electrodes stacked on the substrate. A transistor is disposed on the substrate and positioned between the first stacked structure and the second stacked structure. The transistor includes a gate electrode extending in a first direction, a source region and a drain region. The source and the drain regions are disposed at both sides of the gate electrode in a second direction crossing the first direction. The interconnection line is extended at an angle with respect to the second direction.
