Abstract

A method for manufacturing an electronic device includes forming a first source layer including a trench, forming a first sacrificial layer in the trench, forming a first structure over the first source layer, wherein the first structure includes first material layers and second material layers which are alternately stacked over the each other, forming first openings passing through the first structure and extending to the first sacrificial layer, forming first channel layers in the first openings, forming a slit passing through the first structure and extending to the first sacrificial layer, forming a second opening by removing the first sacrificial layer through the slit, and forming a second source layer in the second opening, wherein the second source layer is coupled to the first channel layers.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a stacked structure including conductive layers and insulating layers which are alternately stacked on each other;

a channel layer passing through the stacked structure and protruding from a bottom surface of the stacked structure; and

a polysilicon layer formed under the stacked structure, wherein the polysilicon layer includes a base portion and a protruding portion,

wherein the base portion surrounds a bottom surface of the channel layer, and the protruding portion extends upward from the base portion to surround sidewalls of the channel layer.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a memory layer between the channel layer and the conductive layers.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the polysilicon layer contacts the channel layer.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a gap-filling insulating layer formed in the channel layer.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the gap-filling insulating layer passes through the stacked structure and extends to the polysilicon layer.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a slit passing through the stacked structure; and

a slit structure formed in the slit.

7. A method of manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising:

forming a first stacked structure;

forming a first channel layer passing through the first stacked structure;

forming an insulating layer on the first stacked structure;

forming a trench in the insulating layer;

forming a polysilicon layer in the trench;

forming a second stacked structure on the polysilicon layer and the insulating layer; and

forming a second channel layer passing through the second stacked structure and extending to the polysilicon layer.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first stacked structure includes first conductive layers and first insulating layers that are alternately stacked.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second stacked structure includes second conductive layers and second insulating layers that are alternately stacked.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the polysilicon layer contacts the first channel layer.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second channel layer contacts the polysilicon layer.
