               1. A semiconductor memory device comprising: 
            a common source line; 
                a bit line spaced apart from the common source line in a vertical direction; 
                a gate stack structure including interlayer insulating layers and conductive patterns, and including a hole, wherein the interlayer insulating layers and the conductive patterns are alternately stacked between the common source line and the bit line, and wherein the hole has a tapered shape that becomes narrower near the bit line and wider near the common source line; 
                a memory layer formed along the hole; and 
                a channel structure disposed on the memory layer, the channel structure being connected to the common source line and the bit line.
