Zusammenfassung:A three-dimensional memory device includes at least one alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, memory openings vertically extending through the at least one alternating stack, memory opening fill structures located in the memory openings, and a laterally-extending trench fill structure contacting a first lengthwise sidewall of the at least one alternating stack, and including a first-type dielectric bridge structure having a first volume, a second-type dielectric bridge structure having a second volume greater than the first volume, and a trench dielectric material portion.
