Abstract

Embodiments of structures and methods for forming three-dimensional (3D) memory devices are provided. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a memory stack, a plurality of channel structures, and source structures over a substrate. The memory stack includes alternating conductor layers and insulating layers. A plurality of channel structures extend vertically in the memory stack. The source structure extends in the memory stack. The source structure includes a plurality of source contacts, each source contact being in a respective insulating structure. At least two source contacts of the plurality of source contacts are in contact with each other and are electrically conductively connected to each other.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a three-dimensional (3D) memory device having a source structure of reduced resistance and a method for forming the 3D memory device. Background technique [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 expensive. As a result, storage density for planar memory cells approaches an 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 3D storage devices and methods for forming 3D storage devices are provided. [0005] In one example, a 3D mem...
