Abstract:
A NOR-type three-dimensional memory device includes a vertically alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers located over a substrate, and laterally alternating sequences of respective active region pillars and respective memory stack structures. Each laterally alternating sequence is electrically isolated from the electrically conductive layers by a respective blocking dielectric layer at each level of the electrically conductive layers. Each memory stack structures include a memory film and a semiconductor channel material portion that vertically extend through the vertically alternating stack. The active region pillars include an alternating sequence of source pillar and drain pillars.

Claim (Index 9):
The three-dimensional memory device of  claim 7 , wherein:\n additional laterally alternating sequences of respective additional active region pillars and respective additional memory stack structures that alternate along the first horizontal direction are provided in the three-dimensional memory device, wherein the laterally alternating sequence and the additional laterally alternating sequences are laterally spaced among one another along a second horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; the first vertically alternating stack and the second vertically alternating stack have an interdigitated configuration in which fingers of the first vertically alternating stack and fingers of the second vertically alternating stack alternately extend along the first horizontal direction between each neighboring pair among the laterally alternating sequence and the additional laterally alternating sequences; a first vertically-extending memory film portion of each memory film within the laterally alternating sequence and the additional laterally alternating sequences is located proximal to the first electrically conductive layers and contacts the blocking dielectric layers; and a second vertically-extending memory film portion of each memory film within the laterally alternating sequence and the additional laterally alternating sequences is located proximal to the second electrically conductive layers and contacts the additional blocking dielectric layers.
