Memory devices and methods of forming memory devices are described. The memory devices comprise a substrate with at least one film stack. The film stack comprises a polysilicon layer on the substrate; a bit line metal layer on the polysilicon layer; a cap layer on the bit line metal layer; and a hardmask on the cap layer. The memory device of some embodiments includes an optional barrier metal layer on the polysilicon layer and the bit line metal layer is on the barrier metal layer. Methods of forming electronic devices are described where one or more patterns are transferred through the films of the film stack to provide the bit line of a memory device.
