Abstract

Memory stack structures are formed through an alternating stack of insulating layers and sacrificial material layers. Backside recesses are formed by removal of the sacrificial material layers selective to the insulating layers and the memory stack structures. A barrier layer stack including a crystalline electrically conductive barrier layer and an amorphous barrier layer is formed in the backside recesses prior to formation of a metal fill material layer.
