摘要: A memory-containing die includes a three-dimensional memory array, a memory dielectric material layer located on a first side of the three-dimensional memory array, and memory-side bonding pads. A logic die includes a peripheral circuitry configured to control operation of the three-dimensional memory array, logic dielectric material layers located on a first side of the peripheral circuitry, and logic-side bonding pads included in the logic dielectric material layers. The logic-side bonding pads includes a pad-level mesh structure electrically connected to a source power supply circuit within the peripheral circuitry and containing an array of discrete openings therethrough, and discrete logic-side bonding pads. The logic-side bonding pads are bonded to a respective one, or a respective subset, of the memory-side bonding pads. The pad-level mesh structure can be used as a component of a source power distribution network.

摘要: An alternating stack of insulating layers and spacer material layers is formed over a source-level sacrificial layer overlying a substrate. The spacer material layers are formed as, or are subsequently replaced with, electrically conductive layers. Memory stack structures including a respective vertical semiconductor channel and a respective memory film are formed through the alternating stack. A source-level cavity is formed by removing the source-level sacrificial layer. Semiconductor pillar structures may be used to provide mechanical support to the alternating stack during formation of the source-level cavity. A source-level semiconductor material layer can be formed in the source-level cavity. The source-level semiconductor material layer adjoins bottom end portions of the vertical semiconductor channels and laterally surrounds the semiconductor pillar structures. The source-level semiconductor material layer may be electrically isolated from a substrate semiconductor material layer in the substrate by a series connection of two p-n junctions having opposite polarities.

摘要: Three-dimensional memory devices include structures that induce a vertical tensile stress in vertical semiconductor channels to enhance charge carrier mobility. Vertical tensile stress may be induced by a laterally compressive stress applied by stressor pillar structure. The stressor pillar structures can include a stressor material such as a dielectric metal oxide material, silicon nitride, thermal silicon oxide or a semiconductor material having a greater lattice constant than that of the channel. Vertical tensile stress may be induced by a compressive stress applied by electrically conductive layers that laterally surround the vertical semiconductor channel, or by a stress memorization technique that captures a compressive stress from sacrificial material layers. Vertical tensile stress can be generated by a source-level pinning layer that prevents vertical expansion of the vertical semiconductor channel. Vertical tensile stress can be induced by using a layer stack including polysilicon and a silicon-germanium alloy for the vertical semiconductor channel.

摘要: A first semiconductor die includes a first substrate, first semiconductor devices, first dielectric material layers having a first silicon oxide surface as an uppermost surface and forming first metal interconnect structures. A second semiconductor die includes a second substrate, second semiconductor devices, and second dielectric material layers forming second metal interconnect structures. A handle substrate is attached to a topmost surface of the second semiconductor die. The second substrate is thinned, and a second silicon oxide surface is provided as a bottommost surface of the second semiconductor die. The second semiconductor die is bonded to the first semiconductor die by inducing oxide-to-oxide bonding between the second silicon oxide surface and the first silicon oxide surface. The handle substrate is detached, and inter-die connection via structures are formed through the second substrate and the bonding interface to contact the first metal interconnect structures. External bonding pads may be subsequently formed.

摘要: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers located over a carrier substrate. Memory stack structures vertically extend through the alternating stack. Each memory stack structure includes a respective vertical semiconductor channel and a respective memory film. A pass-through via structure vertically extends through a dielectric material portion that is adjacent to the alternating stack. The memory die can be bonded to a logic die containing peripheral circuitry for supporting operations of memory cells within the memory die. A distal end of each of the vertical semiconductor channels is physically exposed by removing the carrier substrate. A source layer is formed directly on the distal end each of the vertical semiconductor channels. A backside bonding pad or bonding wire is formed to be electrically connected to the pass-through via structure.

摘要: A vertically alternating stack of insulating layers and dielectric spacer material layers is formed over a semiconductor substrate. The vertically alternating stack is patterned into a first alternating stack located at a center region of a memory die and a second alternating stack that laterally encloses the first alternating stack. Memory stack structures are formed through the first alternating stack, and portions of the dielectric spacer material layers in the first alternating stack are replaced with electrically conductive layers while maintaining the second alternating stack intact. At least one metallic wall structure is formed through the second alternating stack. An edge seal assembly is provided, which includes at least one vertical stack of metallic seal structures. Each vertical stack of metallic seal structures vertically extends contiguously from a top surface of the semiconductor substrate to a bonding-side surface of the memory die, and includes a respective metallic wall structure.
