Abstract: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, memory openings vertically extending through the alternating stack, and memory opening fill structures located within the memory openings. Each of the electrically conductive layers includes a metallic fill material layer and a plurality of vertical tubular metallic liners laterally surrounding a respective one of the memory opening fill structures and located between the metallic fill material layer and a respective one of the memory opening fill structures. The tubular metallic liners may be formed by selective metal or metal oxide deposition, or by conversion of surface portions of the metallic fill material layers into metallic compound material portions by nitridation, oxidation, or incorporation of boron atoms.

Abstract: A method includes forming an alternating stack of first and second layers, forming a composite hard mask layer over the alternating stack, forming openings in the hard mask, and forming via openings through the alternating stack by performing an anisotropic etch process that transfers a pattern of the openings in the composite hard mask layer through the alternating stack. The compositing hard mask includes a first cladding material layer which has higher etch resistance than upper and lower patterning films of the composite hard mask.

Abstract: An alternating stack of disposable material layers and silicon nitride layers is formed over a substrate. Memory openings are formed through the alternating stack, and memory opening fill structures are formed in the memory openings, wherein each of the memory opening fill structures comprises a charge storage material layer, a tunneling dielectric layer, and a vertical semiconductor channel Laterally-extending cavities are formed by removing the disposable material layers selective to the silicon nitride layers and the memory opening fill structures. Insulating layers comprising silicon oxide are formed by oxidizing surface portions of the silicon nitride layers and portions of the charge storage material layers that are proximal to the laterally-extending cavities. Remaining portions of the charge storage material layers form vertical stacks of discrete charge storage elements. Remaining portions of the silicon nitride layers are replaced with electrically conductive layers.

Abstract: A first semiconductor die includes first semiconductor devices located over a first substrate, first interconnect-level dielectric material layers embedding first metal interconnect structures and located on the first semiconductor devices, and a first pad-level dielectric layer located on the first interconnect-level dielectric material layers and embedding first bonding pads. Each of the first bonding pads includes a first proximal horizontal surface and at least one first distal horizontal surface that is more distal from the first substrate than the first proximal horizontal surface is from the first substrate and has a lesser total area than a total area of the first proximal horizontal surface. A second semiconductor die including second bonding pads that are embedded in a second pad-level dielectric layer can be bonded to a respective distal surface of the first bonding pads.
