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 19):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein:\n each dielectric core is divided into a respective plurality of dielectric pillar structures upon formation of the active region openings; each dielectric pillar structure is formed between a pair of vertically-extending semiconductor material portions of a respective semiconductor channel material portion and overlies a horizontally-extending semiconductor material portion of the respective semiconductor channel material portion; interfaces between the active region pillars and the memory stack structures are vertical; and interfaces between the dielectric pillar structure and the active region pillars are vertical.
