    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.

    Abstract: A method of forming a memory device includes forming an alternating stack of disposable material layers and silicon nitride layers over a substrate, forming a memory opening through the alternating stack, forming a memory film and a vertical semiconductor channel in the memory opening, where the memory film includes a continuous silicon nitride charge storage material layer and a tunneling dielectric layer, forming a backside trench through the alternating stack, forming laterally-extending cavities by removing the disposable material layers selective to the silicon nitride layers through the backside trench, oxidizing portions of the silicon nitride layers and the continuous silicon nitride charge storage material layer exposed in the laterally-extending cavities to form silicon oxide insulating layers and to separate the continuous silicon nitride charge storage material layer into a vertical stack of discrete silicon nitride charge storage material portions, and replacing remaining portions of the silicon nitride layers with electrically conductive layers.
