摘要: Embodiments of 3D memory devices having an inter-deck plug and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a first memory deck including interleaved conductor and dielectric layers above the substrate, a second memory deck including interleaved conductor and dielectric layers above the first memory deck, and a first and a second channel structure each extending vertically through the first or second memory deck. The first channel structure includes a first memory film and semiconductor channel along a sidewall of the first channel structure, and an inter-deck plug in an upper portion of the first channel structure and in contact with the first semiconductor channel. A lateral surface of the inter-deck plug is smooth. The second channel structure includes a second memory film and semiconductor channel along a sidewall of the second channel structure. The second semiconductor channel is in contact with the inter-deck plug.

摘要: Embodiments of 3D memory devices with a semiconductor plug protected by a dielectric layer and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a memory stack including a plurality of interleaved conductor layers and dielectric layers on the substrate, and a memory string extending vertically through the memory stack. The memory string includes a semiconductor plug in a lower portion of the memory string, a protective dielectric layer on the semiconductor plug, and a memory film above the protective dielectric layer and along a sidewall of the memory string.

摘要: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for fabricating semiconductor device. The method includes characterizing an etch process that is used to etch channel holes and dummy channel holes in a stack of alternating sacrificial gate layers and insulating layers upon a substrate of a semiconductor device. The channel holes are in a core region and the dummy channel holes are in a staircase region. The stack of alternating sacrificial gate layers and insulating layers extend from the core region into in the staircase region of a stair-step form. The method further includes determining a first shape for defining the dummy channel holes in a layout based on the characterization of the etch process. The first shape is different from a second shape for defining the channel holes.
