Patent ID: 11233041

Abstract:
Embodiments of bonded 3D memory devices and fabrication methods thereof are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a first semiconductor structure, which includes a plurality of first NAND memory strings, a plurality of first BLs, at least one of the first BLs being conductively connected to a respective one of the first NAND memory strings; and a first bonding layer having a plurality of first bit line bonding contacts conductively connected to the plurality of first BLs, respectively. The 3D memory device further includes a second semiconductor structure, which includes a plurality of second NAND memory strings, a plurality of second BLs, at least one of the second BLs being conductively connected to a respective one of the second NAND memory strings, and a second bonding layer having a plurality of second bit line bonding contacts conductively connected to the plurality of second BLs, respectively.
