Abstract

Embodiments of three-dimensional (3D) memory devices and methods for forming the 3D memory devices are disclosed. In an example, a method for forming a 3D memory device is disclosed. A memory stack including interleaved sacrificial layers and dielectric layers is formed above a first substrate. A channel structure extending vertically through the memory stack is formed. A single-crystal silicon layer is formed in a second substrate. An interconnect layer including a bit line is formed on the single-crystal silicon layer above the second substrate. The single-crystal silicon layer and the interconnect layer formed thereon are transferred from the second substrate onto the memory stack above the first substrate, such that the bit line in the interconnect layer is electrically connected to the channel structure.
