A memory device having a 3D structure provides MFMIS-FET memory cells with a high chip area density. The memory device includes a stack of memory cell layers interleaved with insulating layers. Channel vias penetrate through the stack. Channels of the memory cells are disposed in the channel vias. MFM portions of memory cells are sandwiched between the insulating layers in areas lateral to the channel vias. The MFM portions may be radially distributed from the channel vias and include a floating gate, a ferroelectric layer, and a gate electrode. The gate electrodes associated with a plurality of MFM structures may be united into a word line gate. The ferroelectric layer may wrap around the word line gate, whereby the ferroelectric layer is disposed above and below the word line gate as well as between the word line gate and each of the floating gates.
