In a 3D stacked non-volatile memory device, multiple smaller drain-end selected gate transistors replace one larger SGD transistor. The transistor includes an oxide semiconductor layer having a source region, a drain region, and a channel region between the source region and the drain region. To measure the characteristics of the hole, the apparatus and method measure the intensities of the light reflected off the hole wall.
