    Abstract: An IC device may include memory layers over a logic layer. A memory layer includes memory arrays, each of which includes memory cells arranged in rows and columns. A row of memory cells may be associated with a word line. A column of memory cells may be associated with a bit line. Bit lines of different memory arrays may be coupled using one or more vias or source/drain electrodes of transistors in the memory arrays. Alternatively, word lines of different memory arrays may be coupled using one or more vias or gate electrodes of transistors in the memory arrays. The logic layer has a logic circuit that can control data read operations and data write operations of the memory layers. The logic layer may include a power interconnect, which facilitates power delivery to the memory layers, and a signal interconnect, which facilitates signal transmission within the memory device.

    Abstract: IC devices implementing 2T memory cells with source-drain coupling in one transistor, and related assemblies and methods, are disclosed herein. In particular, 2T memory cells presented herein use first and second transistors arranged so that source and drain terminals of the second transistor are coupled to one another. A memory state may be represented by charge indicative of the bit value stored in the second transistor, while the first transistor may serve as a switch to control access to the second transistor. 2T memory cells with source-drain coupling in one transistor provide a promising way to increasing memory cell densities, drive current, and design flexibility in making electrical connections to, or between, various transistor terminals and control lines of memory arrays, thus providing good scalability in the number of 2T memory cells included in memory arrays.
