Abstract
A method for fabricating a 3D-nonvolatile memory device includes forming a sub-channel over a substrate, forming a stacked layer over the substrate, the stacked layer including a plurality of interlayer dielectric layers that are alternatively stacked with conductive layers, selectively etching the stacked layer to form a first open region exposing the sub-channel, forming a main-channel conductive layer to gap-fill the first open region, selectively etching the stacked layer and the main-channel conductive layer to form a second open region defining a plurality of main channels, and forming an isolation layer to gap-fill the second open region.
