    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 three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of electrically conductive layers and insulating layers located over a substrate, an array of memory stack structures. An alternating sequence of support pedestal structures and conductive rail structures extending along a same horizontal direction are provided between the substrate and the alternating stack. Each memory stack structure straddles a vertical interface between a conductive rail structure and a support pedestal structure. A semiconductor channel in each memory stack structure contacts a respective conductive rail structure, and is electrically isolated from an adjacent support pedestal structure by a portion of a memory film. The conductive rail structures can function as source regions of memory device.
