    摘要: 3D memory devices are disclosed. In an implementation, a 3D memory device includes a stack structure having a core area and a staircase area. The core area includes conductive layers interleaved with first dielectric layers. Each stair of the staircase area has a different number of conductive layers interleaved with a different number of first dielectric layers. The staircase area has contact structures that penetrate through the first surface, a respective one of the stairs, and dielectric material. Each of the contact structures is electrically connected to a contacting conductive layer of the different number of conductive layers of one of the stairs. The staircase area has second dielectric layers, each of which isolates a remainder of the different number of conductive layers of the respective one of the stairs other than the contacting conductive layer from a respective contact structure.

    摘要: Embodiments of 3D memory devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In one example, a 3D memory device includes a multi-layer stacked structure, where the multi-layer stacked structure includes a plurality of alternately stacked conductive layers and dielectric layers. The 3D memory device further includes a semiconductor layer over the multi-layer stacked structure, and a plurality of channel structures penetrating into the multi-layer stacked structure and the semiconductor layer. A first end of each channel structure is located within the semiconductor layer, and the first ends of the channel structures are aligned with one another.

    摘要: A three-dimensional (3D) memory structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. A 3D memory unit is formed on a first region of a substrate. A first insulation layer is formed on the first region and a second region of the substrate. A first planarization process is performed to the first insulation layer. The top surface of the first insulation layer on the first region and the top surface of the first insulation layer on the second region are coplanar after the first planarization process. A peripheral circuit is formed on the second region after the first planarization process. The influence of the process for forming the 3D memory unit on the peripheral circuit may be avoided. The manufacturing yield, the electrical performance, and the reliability of the 3D memory structure may be enhanced accordingly.
