Abstract:
3D memory arrays including dummy conductive lines and methods of forming the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a memory array includes a ferroelectric (FE) material over a semiconductor substrate, the FE material including vertical sidewalls in contact with a word line; an oxide semiconductor (OS) layer over the FE material, the OS layer contacting a source line and a bit line, the FE material being between the OS layer and the word line; a transistor including a portion of the FE material, a portion of the word line, a portion of the OS layer, a portion of the source line, and a portion of the bit line; and a first dummy word line between the transistor and the semiconductor substrate, the FE material further including first tapered sidewalls in contact with the first dummy word line.
