    摘要: A memory stack structure for a three-dimensional device includes an alternating stack of insulator layers and spacer material layers. A memory opening is formed through the alternating stack. A memory material layer, a tunneling dielectric layer, and a silicon oxide liner are formed in the memory opening. A sacrificial liner is subsequently formed over the tunneling dielectric layer. The layer stack is anisotropically etched to physically expose a semiconductor surface of the substrate underneath the memory opening. The sacrificial liner may be removed prior to, or after, the anisotropic etch. The silicon oxide liner is removed after the anisotropic etch. A semiconductor channel layer can be deposited directly on the tunneling dielectric layer as a single material layer without any interface therein.

    摘要: An alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers can be formed over a substrate. Memory stack structures and a backside trench are formed through the alternating stack. Backside recesses are formed by removing the sacrificial material layers from the backside trench selective to the insulating layers. A cobalt-containing material is deposited such that the cobalt-containing material continuously extends at least between a neighboring pair of cobalt-containing material portions in respective backside recesses. An anneal is performed at an elevated temperature to migrate vertically-extending portions of the cobalt-containing material into the backside recesses, thereby forming vertically separated cobalt-containing material portions confined within the backside recesses. Sidewalls of the insulating layers may be rounded or tapered to facilitate migration of the cobalt-containing material.
