Abstract

See full text

Word lines for a three-dimensional memory device can be formed by forming a stack of alternating layers comprising insulating layers and sacrificial material layers and memory stack structures vertically extending therethrough. Backside recesses are formed by removing the sacrificial material layers through a backside via trench. A metal silicide layer and metal portion are formed in the backside recesses to form the word lines including a metal portion, a metal silicide layer, and optionally, a silicon-containing layer.
