摘要: A three-dimensional memory device includes alternating stacks of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers. The alternating stacks are laterally spaced apart among one another by backside isolation assemblies. At least one of the backside isolation assemblies generally extends along a first horizontal direction with lateral undulations along a second horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. At least one of the alternating stacks has a modulation in width along the second horizontal direction as a function of a position along the first horizontal direction. Memory stack structures vertically extend through a respective one of the alternating stacks. Each of the backside isolation assemblies includes a respective laterally alternating sequence of backside dielectric isolation walls and backside dielectric support pillar structures.

摘要: A microelectronic device comprises a stack structure comprising a vertically alternating sequence of conductive material and insulative material arranged in tiers. The stack structure has blocks separated from one another by first dielectric slot structures. Each of the blocks comprises two crest regions, a stadium structure interposed between the two crest regions in a first horizontal direction and comprising opposing staircase structures each having steps comprising edges of the tiers of the stack structure, and two bridge regions neighboring opposing sides of the stadium structure in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction and having upper surfaces substantially coplanar with upper surfaces of the two crest regions. At least one second dielectric slot structure is within horizontal boundaries of the stadium structure in the first horizontal direction and partially vertically extends through and segmenting each of the two bridge regions. Memory devices, electronic systems, and methods of forming microelectronic devices are also described.

摘要: Embodiments of a three-dimensional (3D) memory device and fabrication methods thereof are disclosed. In an example, a method for forming a 3D memory device includes the following operations. A dielectric stack is formed to have interleaved sacrificial layers and dielectric layers. A stair is formed in the dielectric stack. The stair includes one or more sacrificial layers of the sacrificial layers and one or more dielectric layers of the dielectric layers. The stair exposes one of the sacrificial layers on a top surface and the one or more sacrificial layers on a side surface. An insulating portion is formed to cover the side surface of the stair to cover the one or more sacrificial layers. A sacrificial portion is formed to cover the top surface of the stair. The sacrificial portion is in contact with the one of sacrificial layers. The one or more sacrificial layers and the sacrificial portion are replaced with one or more conductor layers.
