Abstract:
A three-dimensional memory device includes source-level material layers located over a substrate, the source-level material layers containing a source contact layer, an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers located over the substrate-level material layers, memory stack structures extending through the alternating stack, such that each of the memory stack structures includes a memory film and a vertical semiconductor channel having a bottom surface that contacts a respective horizontal surface of the source contact layer, and dielectric pillar structures embedded within the substrate-level material layers and located between the memory stack structures.

Claim (Index 8):
The three-dimensional memory device of  claim 1 , wherein one of the dielectric pillar structures continuously extends laterally between at least two of the memory films of the memory stack structures, and wherein the dielectric pillar structures are located between neighboring pairs of the memory stack structures.
