Abstract:
Methods and structures of a three-dimensional memory device are disclosed. In an example, the memory device includes a substrate, a first tier of conductor layers of a first length comprising a first plurality of conductor layers extending along a first direction over the substrate. The first direction is substantially parallel to a top surface of the substrate. In some embodiments, the memory device also includes at least one connection portion conductively connecting two or more conductor layers of the first tier, and a first metal contact via conductively shared by connected conductor layers of the first tier and connected to a first metal interconnect.

Claim (Index 9):
The memory device of  claim 8 , wherein:\n the first tier of conductor layer, the second tier of conductor layers, the at least one connection portion, and the at least one other connection portion are made of a same material comprising one or more of tungsten, aluminum, and copper; and the first plurality of insulating portions, the at least one second insulating portion, the other first plurality of insulating portions, and the at least one other second insulating portion comprise silicon oxide.
