Abstract
A three-dimensional memory includes a stack structure, a dummy structure and a gate line slit. The stack structure includes gate line layers and isolation layers stacked alternatively in the vertical direction. The dummy structure includes a first dummy section and a second dummy section. The gate line slit has one end extending into a gap formed by at least one of the first dummy section or the second dummy section. At least one of the first dummy section and the second dummy section partially overlaps a projection of the gate line slit onto the horizontal plane to realize connection between the dummy structure and the gate line slit.
