摘要: An alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers is formed over a substrate. Memory stack structures are formed through the alternating stack. Each of the memory stack structures includes a memory film and a vertical semiconductor channel. Backside recesses are formed by removing the sacrificial material layers selective to the insulating layers and the memory stack structures. Electrically conductive layers are formed in the backside recesses. Each of the electrically conductive layers includes a molybdenum-containing conductive liner and a metal fill portion including a metal other than molybdenum.

摘要: A method of forming a three-dimensional memory device includes forming an alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers over a substrate, forming a memory opening extending through the alternating stack, forming a sacrificial memory opening fill structure in the memory opening, replacing the sacrificial material layers with electrically conductive layers, removing the sacrificial memory opening fill structure selective to the electrically conductive layers, and forming a memory opening fill structure the memory opening after replacing the sacrificial material layers with electrically conductive layers and after removing the sacrificial memory opening fill structure. The memory opening fill structure includes a memory film and a vertical semiconductor channel.

摘要: A method of depositing tungsten over a substrate includes disposing the substrate into a vacuum enclosure of a tungsten deposition apparatus, performing a first tungsten deposition process that deposits a first tungsten layer over a physically exposed surface of the substrate by flowing a fluorine-containing tungsten precursor gas into the vacuum enclosure, performing an in-situ oxidation process by exposing the first tungsten layer to an oxidation agent gas while the substrate remains within the vacuum enclosure without breaking vacuum and forming a tungsten oxyfluoride gas which is pumped out of the vacuum enclosure, and performing a second tungsten deposition process that deposits a second tungsten layer on the first tungsten layer by flowing the fluorine-containing tungsten precursor gas into the vacuum enclosure in a second tungsten deposition process after the in-situ oxidation process.

摘要: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers located over a substrate and memory stack structures extending through the alternating stack. Each of the electrically conductive layers includes a stack of a compositionally graded diffusion barrier and a metal fill material portion, and the compositionally graded diffusion barrier includes a substantially amorphous region contacting the interface between the compositionally graded diffusion barrier and a substantially crystalline region that is spaced from the interface by the amorphous region. The substantially crystalline region effectively blocks atomic diffusion, and the amorphous region induces formation of large grains during deposition of the metal fill material portions.

摘要: An alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers is formed with stepped surfaces. Sacrificial metal plates are formed on the top surfaces of the sacrificial material layers, and a retro-stepped dielectric material portion is formed over the sacrificial metal plates. Contact via cavities are formed through the retro-stepped dielectric material portion employing the sacrificial metal plates as etch stop structures. The sacrificial metal plates are replaced with portions of insulating spacer layers. Sacrificial via fill structures within remaining volumes of the contact via cavities. The sacrificial material layers are replaced with electrically conductive layers. The sacrificial via fill structures are replaced with portions of staircase-region contact via structures that contact the electrically conductive layers.

摘要: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, and memory stack structures extending through the alternating stack. Each of the memory stack structures includes a vertical semiconductor channel, a tunneling dielectric layer, a vertical stack of discrete silicon nitride memory elements located at levels of the electrically conductive layers, and a vertical stack of discrete silicon oxide blocking dielectric structures laterally surrounding the vertical stack of discrete silicon nitride memory elements. Each of the silicon oxide blocking dielectric structures includes a silicon oxynitride surface region, and an atomic concentration of nitrogen atoms within the silicon oxynitride surface region decreases with a lateral distance from an interface between the silicon oxynitride surface region and a respective one of the silicon nitride memory elements.
