Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional memory element and a manufacturing method thereof. The three-dimensional memory element comprises: a base material, a ridge stack, a storage layer, a channel layer and a covering layer. The ridge stack includes a plurality of conductive strips stacked on the substrate along a first direction. The storage layer is stacked on the vertical wall of the ridge stack along the second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction form a non-flat angle. The channel layer is stacked on the storage layer along the second direction, and includes a narrow sidewall and a long side extending along the first direction. The covering layer is stacked on the side wall along the third direction, and the third direction and the second direction form a non-square angle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a high-density memory element and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a three-dimensional (Three-Dimensional, 3D) memory element and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] A non-volatile memory (Non-Volatile Memory, NVM) device, such as a flash memory, has the characteristic that the information stored in the storage unit will not be lost when the power is removed. It has been widely used in solid-state mass storage applications for portable music players, mobile phones, digital cameras, etc. Three-dimensional memory elements, such as single-gate vertical-channel (SGVC) three-dimensional NAND flash memory elements, have a stacked structure of many layers, which can achieve higher storage capacity and have excellent electronic properties, such as good data storage reliability and operating speed. [0003] The fabrication of a typical single-gate vertical channel type three-dimensiona...
