    Abstract: A ferroelectric memory device includes a multi-layer stack, a channel layer, a ferroelectric layer and oxygen scavenging layers. The multi-layer stack is disposed on a substrate and includes a plurality of conductive layers and a plurality of dielectric layers stacked alternately. The channel layer penetrates through the plurality of conductive layers and the plurality of dielectric layers. The ferroelectric layer is disposed between the channel layer and both of the plurality of conductive layers and the plurality of dielectric layers. The oxygen scavenging layers are disposed along sidewalls of the plurality of conductive layer. The plurality of oxygen scavenging layers laterally separate the ferroelectric layer from the plurality of conductive layers.
