Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of 3D memory devices with a semiconductor plug protected by a dielectric layer and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In an example, a 3D memory device includes a substrate, a memory stack including a plurality of interleaved conductor layers and dielectric layers on the substrate, and a memory string extending vertically through the memory stack. The memory string includes a semiconductor plug in a lower portion of the memory string, a protective dielectric layer on the semiconductor plug, and a memory film above the protective dielectric layer and along a sidewall of the memory string.
