Problems solved by technology

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional memory structure and its preparation method, which is used to solve the problem that the upper and lower channel holes cannot be completely aligned in the existing 3D NAND dual stack process. During SONO etching, the ONO film on the sidewall of the lower channel hole is destroyed, which leads to the technical problem that the electrical properties of the final memory cell are affected

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 3D NAND flash memory, there is a current channel for the storage unit in the channel hole CH, that is, a conductive channel. In order to conduct the conductive channel, ONO (silicon oxide-silicon nitride- The functional sidewall of the 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 P-Well and channel Circuit loop of polysilicon (Channel poly, that is, channel layer). [0003] In the existing manufacturing process of 3D NAND flash memory, as the number of stacked layers increases, dual stack (dual stack) technology is generally adopted, and the channel hole needs two etching processes t...
