Ferroelectric memory device with carrier structures

Abstract

A ferroelectric memory device includes a semiconductor structure, a stack structure disposed on the semiconductor structure and including multiple dielectric layers and multiple conductive layers that are alternatingly stacked, and multiple memory arrays extending through the stack structure. Each of the memory arrays includes two spaced-apart memory segments connecting to the stack structure, multiple spaced-apart channel portions each being connected to a corresponding one of the memory segments, and multiple pairs of source/bit lines that are spaced apart from each other. Each of the pairs of the source/bit lines is connected between corresponding two of the channel portions. The ferroelectric memory device further includes multiple carrier structures each being connected to one of the source/bit lines in a corresponding one of the pairs of the source/bit lines, and being separated from the other one of the source/bit lines in the corresponding one of the pairs of the source/bit lines.
