    摘要: A buried source semiconductor layer and p-doped semiconductor material portions are formed over a first portion of a substrate. The buried source semiconductor layer is an n- doped semiconductor material, and the p-doped semiconductor material portions are embedded within the buried source semiconductor layer. An alternating stack of insulating layers and spacer material layers is formed over the substrate. Memory stack structures are formed through the alternating stack. The spacer material layers are formed as, or are replaced with, electrically conductive layers. The buried source semiconductor layer may be formed prior to, or after, formation of the alternating stack. The buried source semiconductor layer underlies the alternating stack and overlies the first portion of the substrate, and contacts at least one surface of the vertical semiconductor channels. The p-doped semiconductor material portions contact at least one surface of a respective subset of the vertical semiconductor channels.

    摘要: A sacrificial film and an alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers are sequentially formed over a substrate. A memory stack structure including a memory film and a vertical semiconductor channel is formed through the alternating stack and the sacrificial film on the substrate. A source level cavity is formed by introducing an etchant or a reactant through a backside trench and removing the sacrificial film. After removal of an annular portion of the memory film, a portion of the vertical semiconductor channel is converted into an annular source region by introducing electrical dopants into the channel. A source contact layer is formed in the source level cavity and directly on the annular source region. The sacrificial material layers are replaced with electrically conductive layers. The annular source region and the source contact layer can provide low source contact resistance in a three-dimensional NAND memory device.

    摘要: A method of forming a memory structure (figures 3i - 3j), comprising: providing a layered semiconductor substrate (304) having a contact region (302), a source select gate (306, SGS) layer on the contact region, and a tiered stack of semiconductor layers (308) on the SGS layer; forming a drain select gate (312, SGD) layer on the tiered stack of the semiconductor substrate; forming a nitride isolation layer (314) on the SGD layer; forming an oxide isolation layer (316) on the nitride isolation layer; etching a pillar trench from the oxide isolation layer into the contact region of the semiconductor substrate; forming a central pillar (318, 320, 322) in the pillar trench from the contact region at least into the nitride isolation layer; forming a plug recess (328, 330) by etching sidewalls of the oxide isolation around the pillar trench to expose a portion of a top surface of the nitride isolation layer; forming a T-plug (332) in the plug recess; and forming an electrical contact (336) on the T-plug such that the T-plug (332) provides a barrier against electrical shorting from the electrical contact (336) to the SGD layer (312).
