Abstract

A 3D memory device includes a multi-layers stacking structure having a plurality of conductive layers and insulating layers stacked in a staggered manner, at least one trench passing through the conductive layers and a plurality of recess regions extending into the conductive layers from the trench; a dielectric blocking strip lining sidewalls of the trench and the recess regions; a plurality of floating gates disposed in the recess regions and isolated from the conductive layers by the dielectric blocking strip; a dielectric strip overlies sidewalls of the floating gates exposed from the recess regions; a semiconductor strip disposed in the trench, insulated from the floating gates by the dielectric strip, and includes a first doping region, a second doping region and a channel region disposed between and connects to the first doping region and the second doping region, and overlapping with the floating gates.
