SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND SYSTEMS COMPRISING MEMORY CELLS AND A SOURCE

Abstract:

A method of forming a semiconductor device comprises forming sacrificial structures and support pillars. The sacrificial structures comprise an isolated sacrificial structure in a slit region and connected sacrificial structures in a pillar region. Tiers are formed over the sacrificial structures and support pillars, and a portion of the tiers are removed to form tier pillars and tier openings, exposing the connected sacrificial structures and support pillars. The connected sacrificial structures are removed to form a cavity, a portion of the cavity extending below the isolated sacrificial structure. A cell film is formed over the tier pillars and over sidewalls of the cavity. A fill material is formed in the tier openings and over the cell film. A portion of the tiers in the slit region is removed, exposing the isolated sacrificial structure, which is removed to form a source opening. The source opening is connected to the cavity and a conductive material is formed in the source opening and in the cavity. Semiconductor devices and systems are also disclosed.
