MEMORY DEVICE HAVING 2-TRANSISTOR MEMORY CELL AND ACCESS LINE PLATE

Abstract:

Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods using a substrate, a pillar having a length perpendicular to the substrate, a first conductive plate, a second conductive plate, a memory cell located between the first and second conductive plates and electrically separated from the first and second conductive plates, and a conductive connection. The first conductive plate is located in a first level of the apparatus and being separated from the pillar by a first dielectric located in the first level. The second conductive plate is located in a second level of the apparatus and being separated from the pillar by a second dielectric located in the second level. The memory cell includes a first semiconductor material located in a third level of the apparatus between the first and second levels and contacting the pillar and the conductive connection, and a second semiconductor material located in a fourth level of the apparatus between the first and second levels and contacting the pillar.
