Abstract

The present invention provides a three-dimensional storage device and its forming method. The device comprises: a substrate; a stack structure formed by alternately stacking gate layers and isolation layers, including a core area and a step area; and a gate line gap, which separates the stack structure into multiple A storage block and a storage area; a channel structure running through the stack structure; a selection gate, which is connected to the channel structure in the core area and connected to the selection gate word line contact structure in the step area; the selection gate is divided into multiple The selection gate isolation structure of the selection gate area; the selection gate area and the finger storage area have the same extension direction. The present invention separates the selection gate into multiple partitions by introducing an isolation structure, and obtains a 3D NAND memory that can simultaneously introduce a top selection gate isolation structure and a bottom selection gate isolation structure, and realizes precise control of each finger storage area and storage string, Improve device performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a three-dimensional storage device and a forming method. Background technique [0002] In the design process of 3D NAND memory, by setting the top selective gate (TopSelective Gate, TSG) and the bottom selective gate (Bottom Selective Gate, BSG) with partitions, it is possible to obtain the memory area (finger) and storage string for each finger. (string) More precise control, and reduce memory power consumption, reduce RC delay. [0003] At present, in the manufacturing process of 3D NAND memory, the top selection gate and the bottom selection gate are generally separated by introducing an isolation structure, so as to obtain a partition structure of each selection gate. [0004] However, as the number of stacked layers in the 3D NAND memory increases, the area of ​​the step region will increase accordingly. In order to reduce the area of ​​the ste...
