Abstract: A memory device includes a multi-layer stack, a plurality of channel layers and a plurality of ferroelectric layers. The multi-layer stack is disposed on a substrate and includes a plurality of gate layers and a plurality of dielectric layers stacked alternately. The plurality of channel layers penetrate through the multi-layer stack and are laterally spaced apart from each other, wherein the plurality of channel layers include a first channel layer and a second channel layer, and a first electron mobility of the first channel layer is different from a second electron mobility of the second channel layer. Each of the plurality of channel layers are spaced apart from the multi-layer stack by one of the plurality of ferroelectric layers, respectively.

Abstract: 3D-NOR memory array devices and methods of manufacture are disclosed herein. A method includes forming a multi-layer stack over a substrate by forming alternating layers of an isolation material and a dummy material. An array of dummy nanostructures is formed in a channel region of the multi-layer stack by performing a wire release process. Once the nanostructures have been formed, a single layer of an oxide semiconductor material is deposited over and surrounds the dummy nanostructures. A memory film is then deposited over the oxide semiconductor material and a conductive wrap-around structure is formed over the memory film. Source/bit line structures may be formed by replacing the layers of the dummy material outside of the channel region with a metal fill material. A staircase conductor structure can be formed the source/bit line structures in a region of the multi-layer stack adjacent the memory array.
