Abstract:
Various apparatuses, including three-dimensional (3D) memory devices and systems including the same, are described herein. In one embodiment, a 3D memory device can include at least two sources; at least two memory arrays respectively formed over and coupled to the at least two sources; and a source conductor electrically respectively coupled to the at least two sources using source contacts adjacent one or more edges of the source. Each of the at least two memory arrays can include memory cells, control gates, and data lines. There is no data line between an edge of a source and the source contacts adjacent the edge.

Claim (Index 16):
A memory apparatus, comprising:\n first and second sources; first and second arrays of memory cells, each array of memory cells formed over and coupled to a respective source of the first and second sources, each array of memory cells including, multiple vertical strings of memory cells, multiple tiers of control gates including respective word lines extending in a word line direction and coupled to respective tiers of memory cells, and multiple data lines coupled to respective groups of the vertical strings of memory cells; and multiple source conductors extending over the first and second arrays of memory cells and coupled to the first and second sources through respective vertical source contacts, wherein all source contacts to the first source are located outside the length of the word lines of the first array, and wherein all source contacts to the second source are located outside the length of the word lines of the second array.
