    Abstract: A memory structure includes stacks, memory layers, channel layers, dielectric layers, and first conductive lines. Each stack includes a group of alternating conductive strips and insulating strips. The memory layers are conformally disposed on the stacks. The channel layers are conformally disposed on the memory layers. The dielectric layers are disposed on portions of the channel layers at first sides of the stacks and portions of the channel layers at second sides of the stacks. The first conductive lines are disposed along sidewalls of the stacks. The first conductive lines are isolated from the channel layers by the dielectric layers. One first conductive line disposed at the first side of one stack is isolated from one first conductive line disposed at the second side of the same stack and isolated from one first conductive line disposed at the second side of an adjacent stack.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating a memory device is provided: A multi-layer stack is formed on a substrate. The multi-layer stack is then patterned to form plural trenches extending along a first direction to define plural ridge-shaped stacks each of which comprises at least one conductive strip. Next, a memory layer and a channel layer are formed in sequence on bottoms and sidewalls of the trenches. A sacrifice layer is formed to fulfill the trenches. Subsequently, portions of the sacrifice layer, the memory layer and the channel layer formed in the trenches are removed to form plural openings exposing a portion of the substrate therefrom. After removing the remaining sacrifice layer, portions of the memory layer and the channel layer formed on the ridge-shaped stacks are patterned to form an interconnection between two adjacent trenches through two of the openings formed in the two adjacent trenches.
