    摘要: Embodiments of 3D memory devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a memory stack including interleaved conductive layers and dielectric layers above the substrate, and a channel structure extending vertically through the memory stack. The channel structure includes a high dielectric constant (high-k) dielectric layer disposed continuously along a sidewall of the channel structure, a memory film over the high-k dielectric layer along the sidewall of the channel structure, and a semiconductor channel over the memory film along the sidewall of the channel structure.

    摘要: In certain aspects, a first opening extending vertically through a first dielectric deck including a first plurality of interleaved sacrificial layers and dielectric layers above a substrate is formed. A high-k dielectric layer and a channel sacrificial layer free of polysilicon are subsequently formed along a sidewall of the first opening. A second opening extending vertically through a second dielectric deck including a second plurality of interleaved sacrificial layers and dielectric layers on the first dielectric deck is formed to expose the channel sacrificial layer in the first opening. The channel sacrificial layer is removed in the first opening. A memory film and a semiconductor channel are subsequently formed over the high-k dielectric layer along sidewalls of the first and second openings.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a stack structure, first gate isolation structures, and conductive structures. The stack structure includes gate layers and first dielectric layers disposed alternately. The first gate isolation structures extend along a first direction, and the first gate isolation structures are arranged at intervals along a second direction and divide the stack structure into at least one block comprising a memory region and a connection region that are distributed along the first direction. The conductive structures are located in the connection region, and orthographic projections of upper ends of at least two conductive structures on a reference plane at least partially overlap. The reference plane is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
