Abstract

Embodiments of 3D memory devices and fabricating methods thereof are disclosed. The method comprises forming an array device semiconductor structure comprising an alternating conductor/dielectric stack disposed on a semiconductor layer, and an array interconnect layer disposed on the alternating conductor/dielectric stack and including a first interconnect structure. The method further comprises a peripheral device disposed on a substrate, and a peripheral interconnect layer disposed on the peripheral device and including a second interconnect structure and a pad. The pad is electrically connected with the peripheral device through the second interconnect structure. The method further comprises bonding the array interconnect layer to the peripheral interconnect layer, such that the first interconnect structure is joined with the second interconnect structure. The method further comprises forming a pad opening exposing a surface of the pad.
