摘要: Embodiments of structure and methods for forming a three-dimensional (3D) memory device are provided. In an example, a method for forming a 3D memory device includes the following operations. A cut structure is first formed in a stack structure. The stack structure includes interleaved initial sacrificial layers and initial insulating layers. A patterned cap material layer is formed over the stack structure. The patterned cap material layer includes an opening over the cut structure. Portions of the stack structure and the patterned cap material layer adjacent to the opening are removed to form a slit structure and an initial support structure. The initial support structure divides the slit structure into slit openings. Conductor portions are formed through the plurality of slit openings to form a support structure. A source contact is formed in each slit opening. A connection layer is formed over the source contact in each slit opening and over the support structure.
