Abstract

Embodiments of a ladder structure for double-sided wiring of a three-dimensional (3D) memory device are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a memory stack layer disposed over the substrate and including alternately stacked conductor / dielectric layer pairs, and an array of memory strings, each memory string extending vertically through the memory stack layer inner area. The outer area of ​​the memory stack layer includes a first stepped structure disposed on the substrate and a second stepped structure disposed above the first stepped structure. In the first ladder structure, the first edges of the conductor / dielectric layer pairs along the vertical direction away from the substrate are laterally staggered away from the array of memory strings. The second edges of the conductor / dielectric layer pairs along the vertical direction away from the substrate in the second ladder structure are laterally staggered toward the array of memory strings.

Description

Background technique [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to three-dimensional (3D) memory devices and methods of manufacturing the same. [0002] Planar memory cells are scaled to smaller sizes by improving process technology, circuit design, programming algorithms, and manufacturing processes. However, as the feature size of memory cells approaches the lower limit, planar processes and fabrication techniques become challenging and costly. As a result, the storage density of planar memory cells approaches the upper limit. [0003] 3D memory architectures can address density limitations in planar memory cells. A 3D memory architecture includes a memory array and peripherals for controlling signals to and from the memory array. Contents of the invention [0004] Embodiments of a ladder structure for double-sided wiring of a 3D memory device are disclosed herein. [0005] In one example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a memory stack layer disposed ...
