Method of forming three-dimensional memory device with epitaxially grown layers
Abstract:
Three-dimensional (3D) NAND memory devices and methods are provided. In one aspect, a 3D NAND memory device includes a substrate, a layer stack over the substrate, a first epitaxial layer, a second epitaxial layer, first array common sources (ACS's), and second ACS's. The layer stack includes first stack layers and second stack layers that are alternately stacked. The first epitaxial layer is deposited on a side portion of a channel layer that extends through the layer stack. The second epitaxial layer is deposited on the substrate. The first ACS's and a portion of the layer stack are between the second ACS's.
