Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) memory device is provided and includes a substrate, an alternating stack and a channel structure. The alternating stack is disposed on the substrate, and the alternating stack includes a plurality of conductive layers and a plurality of air gap layers alternately stacked. The channel structure is disposed on the substrate and extends vertically through the conductive layers and the air gap layers. The alternating stack further includes a plurality of etching stop blocks between the air gap layers and the channel structure.
