    摘要: A three-dimensional (3D) memory device includes a stack structure having interleaved conductive layers and dielectric layers, and a channel structure extending through the stack structure along a first direction. The channel structure is in contact with a source of the 3D memory device at a bottom portion of the channel structure. The channel structure includes a semiconductor channel, and a memory film over the semiconductor channel. The memory film includes a tunneling layer over the semiconductor channel, a storage layer over the tunneling layer, and a blocking layer over the storage layer. A first thickness of the bottom portion of the channel structure is larger than a second thickness of a top portion of the channel structure.
