    Abstract: A 3D memory array in which epitaxial source/drain regions which are horizontally merged and vertically unmerged are used as source lines and bit lines and methods of forming the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a memory array includes a first channel region over a semiconductor substrate; a first epitaxial region electrically coupled to the first channel region; a second epitaxial region directly over the first epitaxial region in a direction perpendicular to a major surface of the semiconductor substrate; a dielectric material between the first epitaxial region and the second epitaxial region, the second epitaxial region being isolated from the first epitaxial region by the dielectric material; a gate dielectric surrounding the first channel region; and a gate electrode surrounding the gate dielectric.

    Abstract: A ferroelectric memory device includes a multi-layer stack, a channel layer, a ferroelectric layer and oxygen scavenging layers. The multi-layer stack is disposed on a substrate and includes a plurality of conductive layers and a plurality of dielectric layers stacked alternately. The channel layer penetrates through the plurality of conductive layers and the plurality of dielectric layers. The ferroelectric layer is disposed between the channel layer and both of the plurality of conductive layers and the plurality of dielectric layers. The oxygen scavenging layers are disposed along sidewalls of the plurality of conductive layer. The plurality of oxygen scavenging layers laterally separate the ferroelectric layer from the plurality of conductive layers.
