摘要: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, a composite insulating cap layer located over the alternating stack, memory openings vertically extending through the composite insulating cap layer and the alternating stack, and memory opening fill structures located in the memory openings. Each of the memory opening fill structures includes a vertical semiconductor channel and a vertical stack of memory elements. The composite insulating layer includes a bottom insulating cap layer, a top insulating cap layer, and an etch-stop dielectric layer located between the bottom insulating cap layer and the top insulating cap layer.

摘要: A memory die includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers located between a drain-side dielectric layer and a source-side dielectric layer. Memory openings vertically extend through the alternating stack. Each of the memory openings has a greater lateral dimension an interface with the source-side dielectric layer than at an interface with the drain-side dielectric layer. Memory opening fill structures are located in the memory openings. Each of the memory opening fill structures includes a vertical semiconductor channel, a vertical stack of memory elements, and a drain region. A logic die may be bonded to a source-side dielectric layer side of the memory die.

摘要: A bonded assembly includes a memory die including a three-dimensional memory array located on a first single crystalline semiconductor substrate, and a logic die including a peripheral circuitry located on a second single crystalline semiconductor substrate and bonded to the memory die. The three-dimensional memory array includes word lines and bit lines. The logic die includes field effect transistors having semiconductor channels configured to flow electrical current along a channel direction that is parallel to the bit lines or word lines. Different crystallographic orientations are used for the first and second single crystalline semiconductor substrates. The crystallographic orientations of the first single crystalline semiconductor substrate are selected to minimize stress deformation of the memory chip, while the crystallographic orientations of the second single crystalline semiconductor substrate are selected to maximize device performance of the peripheral circuitry.

摘要: Memory stack structures and dielectric wall structures are formed through a vertically alternating sequence of continuous insulating layers and continuous sacrificial material layers. Backside trenches are formed to divide the vertically alternating sequence into multiple alternating stacks. First portions of the continuous sacrificial material layers are replaced with electrically conductive layers. A connection region including a pair of dielectric wall structures is provided between a first memory array region and a second memory array region of a first alternating stack. Second portions of the continuous sacrificial material layers remain between the pair of dielectric wall structures as a vertical stack of dielectric plates. An upper subset of the first electrically conductive layers is patterned and is divided into multiple discrete portions. The multiple discrete portions are electrically connected by a respective set of connection metal interconnect structures. A metal via structure may be formed through the dielectric plates.
