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 20):
The memory device of  claim 19 , wherein the plurality of word lines comprises a stack of word lines having a plurality of tiers of word lines stacking along a direction substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate, and wherein:\n each of the plurality of tiers of word lines comprises a plurality of word lines of a same height and is insulated from another tier of word lines by one or more insulating layers along the direction substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate; the plurality of word lines of the same tier is each conductively connected to one another through the at least one connection portion; and the at least one connection portion of each of the plurality of tiers is aligned with one another along the direction substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate.
