Abstract
A ferroelectric memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, a memory opening extending vertically through the alternating stack and including laterally-protruding portions at levels of the electrically conductive layers, and a memory opening fill structure located in the memory opening and containing a vertical semiconductor channel and a vertical stack of discrete ferroelectric memory structures located in the laterally-protruding portions of the memory opening. Each of the ferroelectric memory structures includes crystalline ferroelectric material portion and a crystalline template material portion located between a respective electrically conductive layer of the electrically conductive layers and the crystalline ferroelectric material portion.
