Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) memory device includes a doped semiconductor layer, a stack structure, and a channel structure. The stack structure includes interleaved conductive layers and dielectric layers formed on the doped semiconductor layer. The conductive layers include a plurality of word lines, and a drain select gate line. The channel structure extends through the stack structure along a first direction and is in contact with the doped semiconductor layer. The channel structure includes a semiconductor channel, and a memory film over the semiconductor channel. The drain select gate line is in direct contact with the semiconductor channel, each of the plurality of word lines is in direct contact with the memory film, and the drain select gate line and the plurality of word lines include a same material.
