Abstract
A 3D memory including a plurality of tiles, a bit line transistor structure, a first upper conductive layer, and a second upper conductive layer. The bit line transistor structure is disposed between a first sub-tile and a second sub-tile in the plurality of tiles. The first upper conductive layer includes a plurality of local bit lines, a plurality of local source lines and a conductive pattern. The plurality of local bit lines include a first group and a second group of local bit lines separated from each other, wherein two adjacent local bit lines are disposed between adjacent two local source lines. The second upper conductive layer includes a global bit line. The global bit line is electrically connected to the local bit lines through the conductive pattern. The 3D memory could be a 3D AND flash memory with high capacity and high performance.
