Abstract

In certain aspects, a three-dimensional (3D) memory device includes channel structures in a first region, word line pick-up structures in a dielectric portion of a second region, and word lines each extending in the first region and a conductive portion of the second region. The first region and the second region are arranged in a first direction. The dielectric portion and the conductive portion of the second region are arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The word lines are discontinuous in the dielectric portion of the second region and are electrically connected to the word line pick-up structures, respectively.
