    摘要: The application provides a three-dimensional memory and the method for manufacturing the same, and a memory system. The memory comprises: a bottom select gate structure; a stack structure disposed on the bottom select gate structure, the stack structure including a channel layer extending in stack structure in the first direction of the thickness of the stack structure, the channel layer having a first conductive type impurity; a top select gate structure disposed on the stack structure, wherein at least one of the bottom select gate structure and the top select gate structure comprises a semiconductor structure extending in the first direction and connected with the channel layer and having a second conductive type impurity opposite to the first conductive type impurity. The memory provided in the present application can form a PN junction barrier capacitance in a conductive circuit connecting a channel layer by providing a semiconductor structure having an impurity of an opposite conductive type to the channel layer in a select gate structure. Therefore, the width of the space charge region in the capacitor above described can be modulated according to the requirements of the erasing, programming and read operation, and the turn-on speed of the channel layer can be controlled to optimize the turn-on/turn-off performance of the three-dimensional memory.

    摘要: Embodiments of source structure of a three-dimensional (3D) memory device and method for forming the source structure of the 3D memory device are disclosed. In an example, a NAND memory device includes a substrate, an alternating conductor/dielectric stack, a NAND string, a source conductor layer, and a source contact. The alternating conductor/dielectric stack includes a plurality of conductor/dielectric pairs above the substrate. The NAND string extends vertically through the alternating conductor/dielectric stack. The source conductor layer is above the alternating conductor/dielectric stack and is in contact with an end of the NAND string. The source contact includes an end in contact with the source conductor layer. The NAND string is electrically connected to the source contact by the source conductor layer. In some embodiments, the source conductor layer includes one or more conduction regions each including one or more of a metal, a metal alloy, and a metal silicide.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device may include a cell substrate, a mold structure including gate electrodes stacked on the cell substrate, a channel structures (CH1, CH2, CH3) penetrating the mold structure; and a first cutting structure (SLC) cutting some of the gate electrodes. The first cutting structure may include a first portion (SLC1) having a line shape extending in a first direction and a second portion (SLC2) having a line shape extending in a second direction. The first portion and the second portion may be alternately connected to form a zigzag shape. The first cutting structure may include a first side wall and a second side wall opposing the first side wall. A first point of the first side wall connected from the second portion to the first portion and a second point of the second side wall connected from the first portion to the second portion may be in corresponding channel structures among the channel structures.
