Abstract

See full text

A three-dimensional (3D) memory device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. An alternating dielectric stack is formed on a substrate. An opening is formed penetrating the alternating dielectric stack in a thickness direction of the substrate. A blocking layer is formed on a sidewall of the opening. A trapping layer is formed in the opening, and the trapping layer is formed on the blocking layer. The trapping layer includes a lower portion and an upper portion disposed above the lower portion. A thickness of the upper portion in a horizontal direction is greater than a thickness of the lower portion in the horizontal direction. The thickness distribution of the trapping layer is modified for improving the electrical performance of the 3D memory device.
