Abstract
Embodiments of 3D memory devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a memory stack including interleaved conductive layers and dielectric layers, a channel structure extending vertically through the memory stack, and a semiconductor layer above the memory stack. The channel structure includes a channel plug in a lower portion of the channel structure, a memory film along a sidewall of the channel structure, and a semiconductor channel over the memory film and in contact with the channel plug. The semiconductor layer includes a semiconductor plug above and in contact with the semiconductor channel.
