    摘要: A process of forming a three-dimensional (3D) memory array includes forming a stack having a plurality of conductive layers of carbon-based material separated by dielectric layers. Etching trenches in the stack divides the conductive layers into conductive strips. The resulting structure includes a two-dimensional array of horizontal conductive strips. Memory cells may be distributed along the length of each strip to provide a 3D array. The conductive strips together with additional conductive structure that may have a vertical or horizontal orientation allow the memory cells to be addressed individually. Forming the conductive layers with carbon-based material facilitate etching the trenches to a high aspect ratio. Accordingly, forming the conductive layers of carbon-based material enables the memory array to have more layers or to have a higher area density.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first poly-material pattern, a first conductive element, a first semiconductor layer, and a first gate structure. The first poly-material pattern is over and protrudes outward from the substrate, wherein the first poly-material pattern includes a first active portion and a first poly-material portion joined to the first active portion. The first conductive element is over the substrate, wherein the first conductive element includes the first poly-material portion and a first metallic conductive portion covering at least one of a top surface and a sidewall of the first poly-material portion. The first semiconductor layer is over the substrate and covers the first active portion of the first poly-material pattern and the first conductive element. The first gate structure is over the first semiconductor layer located within the first active portion.
