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 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein:\n the electrically conductive layers comprise first electrically conductive layers formed between vertically neighboring pairs of the first insulating layers and second electrically conductive layers formed between neighboring pairs of the second insulating layers; the first insulating layers and the first electrically conductive layers constitute a first vertically alternating stack, and the second insulating layers and the second electrically conductive layers constitute a second vertically alternating stack; and 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 plurality of laterally alternating sequences.
