Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a memory array disposed over the substrate. The memory array includes at least one film stack disposed over the substrate, a memory layer disposed over the substrate and covering a sidewall and a top of the film stack, a selector layer disposed on the memory layer, and at least one word line disposed on the selector layer and extending transversely with respect to the film stack. The film stack includes conductive layers and insulating layers alternately arranged, each conductive layer includes a first material and a second material in direct contact with each other, and a resistivity value of the second material is lower than a resistivity value of the first material.
