    Abstract: A device structure includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, a stepped dielectric material portion overlying and laterally contacting the alternating stack in the staircase region, and memory opening fill structures extending through the alternating stack. The electrically conductive layers include first electrically conductive layers and second electrically conductive layers overlying the first electrically conductive layers. Coaxial double contact via structures vertically extend through the stepped dielectric material portion. Each of the coaxial double contact via structures includes a respective inner layer contact via structure contacting a respective one of the first electrically conductive layers, and a respective outer layer contact via structure that laterally surrounds the respective inner layer contact via structure and contacts a respective one of the second electrically conductive layers.
