[0176] The following combination Fig.11 A semiconductor device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0177] The semiconductor device 100 includes a first semiconductor structure 1, a second semiconductor structure 2, and a third semiconductor structure 3. In a second direction z, the second semiconductor structure 2 is located on one side of the first semiconductor structure 1 in the second direction z, the third semiconductor structure 3 is located on a side of the first semiconductor structure 1 away from the second semiconductor structure 2, and the first semiconductor structure 1 is connected to the third semiconductor structure 3 and the second semiconductor structure 2, respectively.

[0179] The first semiconductor structure 1 includes a stacked structure 11 stacked along a second direction z, and the stacked structure 11 includes a plurality of gate layers 111 and a plurality of gate dielectric layers 113 alternately arranged along the second direction z. The plurality of gate layers 111 are arranged at intervals in the second direction z, and a plurality of step surfaces 111a are formed in the step region 1b, respectively. The second direction z intersects with the first direction x.

[0181] The first semiconductor structure 1 further includes a plurality of gate contacts 12 located in the step region 1b, the plurality of gate contacts 12 penetrate the plurality of step surfaces 111a and are respectively connected to the plurality of gate layers 111. The gate contact 12 includes a first contact end 12a and a second contact end 12b located at opposite sides of the stack structure 11 in the second direction z. In other words, the gate contact 12 penetrates the stack structure 11 in the step region 1b.

[0182] In the related art, the gate contact portion is only in contact with the step surface, and it is difficult to realize bidirectional extraction of the gate contact portion. In some embodiments of the present application, the gate contact portion 12 penetrates the stacking structure 11 of the step area 1b, and the peripheral circuit can be connected to the first contact end 12a and the second contact end 12b of the gate contact portion 12, that is, the gate contact portion 12 can be extracted in both directions.
