Abstract: 3D-NOR memory array devices and methods of manufacture are disclosed herein. A method includes forming a multi-layer stack over a substrate by forming alternating layers of an isolation material and a dummy material. An array of dummy nanostructures is formed in a channel region of the multi-layer stack by performing a wire release process. Once the nanostructures have been formed, a single layer of an oxide semiconductor material is deposited over and surrounds the dummy nanostructures. A memory film is then deposited over the oxide semiconductor material and a conductive wrap-around structure is formed over the memory film. Source/bit line structures may be formed by replacing the layers of the dummy material outside of the channel region with a metal fill material. A staircase conductor structure can be formed the source/bit line structures in a region of the multi-layer stack adjacent the memory array.

Abstract: A 3D memory array has data storage structures provided at least in part by one or more vertical films that do not extend between vertically adjacent memory cells. The 3D memory array includes conductive strips and dielectric strips, alternately stacked over a substrate. The conductive strips may be laterally indented from the dielectric strips to form recesses. A data storage film may be disposed within these recesses. Any portion of the data storage film deposited outside the recesses may have been effectively removed, whereby the data storage film is essentially discontinuous from tier to tier within the 3D memory array. The data storage film within each tier may have upper and lower boundaries that are the same as those of a corresponding conductive strip. The data storage film may also be made discontinuous between horizontally adjacent memory cells.
