Abstract:
Memory arrays and their formation are disclosed. One such memory array has a string of series-coupled memory cells with a substantially vertical portion. A distance between adjacent memory cells at one end of the substantially vertical portion is greater than a distance between adjacent memory cells at an opposing end of the substantially vertical portion. For other embodiments, thicknesses of respective control gates of the memory cells and/or thicknesses of the dielectrics between successively adjacent control gates may increase as the distances of the respective control gates/dielectrics from the opposing end of the substantially vertical portion increase.
