Abstract:
A process for fabricating a 3D memory is shown. Linear stacks, each of which includes alternately stacked gate lines and insulating layers, are formed. A charge trapping layer is formed covering the linear stacks. An amorphous semiconductor layer is formed on the charge trapping layer. An ultra-thin cap layer is formed on the amorphous semiconductor layer. The amorphous semiconductor layer is annealed to form a crystalline channel layer, wherein agglomeration of the material of the amorphous semiconductor layer is suppressed by then ultra-thin cap layer.

Claim (Index 1):
A process for fabricating a 3D memory, comprising:\n forming a plurality of linear stacks, each of which comprises a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of insulating layers that are stacked alternately; forming a charge trapping layer covering the linear stacks; forming an amorphous semiconductor layer on the charge trapping layer; forming a cap layer on the amorphous semiconductor layer; and annealing the amorphous semiconductor layer to form a crystalline channel layer, wherein agglomeration of a material of the amorphous semiconductor layer is suppressed by the cap layer.
