Embodiments of 3D memory devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a peripheral circuit on the substrate, a memory stack including interleaved conductive layers and dielectric layers above the peripheral circuit, a first semiconductor layer above the memory stack, a second semiconductor layer above and in contact with the first semiconductor layer, a plurality of channel structures each extending vertically through the memory stack and the first semiconductor layer, and a source contact above the memory stack and in contact with the second semiconductor layer.
