Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional memory structure and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a stack structure on the semiconductor substrate, and forming a channel hole in the stack structure; filling the bottom of the channel hole with a third Two sacrificial layers; forming functional sidewalls and a channel layer in the channel hole filled with the first sacrificial layer; thinning the surface of the semiconductor substrate away from the stacked structure to expose the second sacrificial layer; The bottom of the second sacrificial layer and the functional sidewalls are removed from the surface of the semiconductor substrate away from the stacked structure to form a groove that exposes the bottom of the channel layer; a bottom connection layer is filled in the groove, and the bottom is connected The layer communicates with the channel layer. The present invention can avoid the technical problem of damage to the functional sidewall at the junction of the upper and lower stack structures due to the offset of the upper and lower channel holes during the SONO etching of the deep hole in the dual stack process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor design and manufacture, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional memory structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the existing manufacturing process of 3D NAND flash memory, as the number of stacked layers increases, dual stack (dual stack) technology is generally used. After the channel hole is etched, ONO (silicon oxide- The functional sidewall of the silicon nitride-silicon oxide) structure and the sacrificial polysilicon layer (SAC poly), and then etch the deep hole SONO to open the ONOP (polysilicon layer and functional sidewall) at the bottom of the channel hole to form a P -Well and channel polysilicon (Channel poly, that is, the channel layer) circuit loop. [0003] In the dual stack process of 3D NAND, due to factors such as stress, it is difficult to align the upper channel hole (UCH) and the lower channel hole (LCH). , OVL) there is a shift (shif...
