Abstract: A method for data erasing of a non-volatile memory device is disclosed. The memory includes multiple memory cell strings each including a select gate transistor and multiple memory cells that are connected in series. The method comprises applying a step erase voltage to one memory cell string for an erase operation, the step erase voltage having a step-rising shaped voltage waveform. The method further comprises, during a period when the step erase voltage rises from an intermediate level to a peak level, raising a voltage of the select gate transistor from a starting level to a peak level, and raising a voltage of a predetermined region from a starting level to a peak level, such that a gate-induced drain leakage current is generated in the one memory cell string. The predetermined region is adjacent to the at least one select gate transistor and includes at least one memory cell.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for forming a three-dimensional (3D) memory device. The method includes disposing an alternating dielectric stack that includes first dielectric layers and second dielectric layers alternatingly stacked on the substrate; forming a channel structure penetrating through the alternating dielectric stack in a first direction perpendicular to the substrate. The channel structure includes a charge trapping layer extending in the first direction. The method also includes removing at least one second dielectric layer at a top portion of the alternating dielectric stack to form a top select gate (TSG) cut tunnel and to expose a portion of the charge trapping layer in a second direction parallel to the substrate. The method further includes removing the exposed portion of the charge trapping layer inside the TSG cut tunnel; and disposing a TSG conductive layer inside the TSG cut tunnel.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide an erase method for a memory device. In the method, during a time period, a first positive voltage is applied to a body portion of a memory cell string of the memory device. The memory cell string includes memory cell transistors and select transistors connected in series. A second positive voltage is applied to a bit line signal of the memory cell string. A third positive voltage is applied to a first top select gate signal to turn on a first top select transistor of the select transistors so that the memory cell transistors are coupled to the bit line signal through the first top select transistor. A ground level voltage or a fourth positive voltage is applied to a word line signal of the memory cell transistors. Both the third and fourth positive voltages are less than the second positive voltage.
