VERTICAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEMORY WITH VERTICAL CHANNEL

Abstract:

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having vertically oriented access devices having a first source/drain region and a second source drain region vertically separated by a channel region, and gates opposing the channel region, vertically oriented access lines coupled to the gates and separated from a channel region by a gate dielectric. The memory cells have horizontally oriented storage nodes coupled to the first source/drain region and horizontally oriented digit lines coupled to the second source/drain regions.
