摘要: A method of forming a monolithic three-dimensional memory device includes forming a first alternating stack over a substrate, forming an insulating cap layer, forming a first memory opening through the insulating cap layer and the first alternating stack, forming a sacrificial pillar structure in the first memory opening, forming a second alternating stack, forming a second memory opening, forming an inter-stack memory opening, forming a memory film and a first semiconductor channel layer in the inter-stack memory opening, anisotropically etching a horizontal bottom portion of the memory film and the first semiconductor channel layer to expose the substrate at the bottom of the inter-stack memory opening such that damage to portions of the first semiconductor channel layer and the memory film located adjacent to the insulating cap layer is reduced or avoided, and forming a second semiconductor channel layer in contact with the exposed substrate in the inter-stack memory opening.

摘要: A monolithic three-dimensional memory device is disclosed herein. The device comprises a first alternating stack of first insulating layers 132 and first electrically conductive layers 146 located over a top surface of a substrate 10, an insulating cap layer 170A overlying the first alternating stack (132, 146), a second alternating stack of second insulating layers 232 and second electrically conductive layers 246 overlying the insulating cap layer 170A, and a memory stack structure 55 extending through the second alternating stack (232, 246), the insulating cap layer 170A and the first alternating stack (132, 146). The memory stack structure 55 comprises a semiconductor channel 60 and a memory film 50 including a plurality of charge storage regions. The insulating cap layer 170A comprises a first concave surface having a first radius of curvature R1, laterally surrounding the memory stack structure 55, and adjoined to an upper periphery of a substantially vertical sidewall of the memory stack structure 55, and the insulating cap layer 170A comprises a second concave surface having a second radius of curvature R2 that is greater than the first radius of curvature R1, laterally surrounding the memory stack structure 55, and adjoined to an upper periphery of the first concave surface.
