Abstract
Embodiments of structure and methods for forming a three-dimensional (3D) memory device are provided. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a memory stack over a substrate, a plurality of channel structures, and a source structure. The memory stack includes interleaved a plurality of conductor layers and a plurality of insulating layers. The plurality of channel structures extend vertically in the memory stack. The source structure extend in the memory stack. The source structure includes a plurality of source contacts each in a respective insulating structure. At least two of the plurality of source contacts are in contact with and conductively connected to one another.
