Abstract:
A semiconductor device for accessing non-volatile memory cell is provided. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device has a vertical stack of semiconductor layers including a source, a drain, and a well. An application of a drain-source bias voltage to the semiconductor device generates a punchthrough mechanism across the well to initiate a flow of current between the source and the drain.
