Title:
THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEMORY DEVICES HAVING THROUGH ARRAY CONTACTS AND METHODS FOR FORMING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/037489
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Three-dimensional (3D) memory devices having through array contacts (TACs) and methods for forming the same are described herein. A method for forming a 3D memory device (100) is provided. A dielectric stack including a plurality of dielectric/sacrificial layer pairs is formed on a substrate (102). A channel structure (108) extending vertically through the dielectric stack is formed. A first opening extending vertically through the dielectric stack is formed. A spacer (138) is formed on a sidewall of the first opening. A TAC (136) extending vertically through the dielectric stack is formed by depositing a conductor layer (140) in contact with the spacer (138) in the first opening. A slit (132) extending vertically through the dielectric stack is formed after forming the TAC (136). A memory stack (104) including a plurality of conductor/dielectric layer pairs is formed on the substrate (102) by replacing, through the slit (132), the sacrificial layers in the dielectric/sacrificial layer pairs with a plurality of conductor layers (110).
