Abstract
Example three-dimensional (3D) memory devices, methods, and memory systems for connecting vertical transistors and capacitors using connect structures are disclosed. One example method includes forming a first structure that includes multiple vertical transistors. A connect layer is formed over the first structure. The connect layer is etched to form connect structures, where each of the connect structures is coupled to a corresponding one of the vertical transistors. Multiple capacitors are formed over the connect layer, where each of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to a respective connect structure.
