Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated memory assembly having a first memory array deck over a second memory array deck. A first series of conductive lines extends across the first memory array deck, and a second series of conductive lines extends across the second memory array deck. A first conductive line of the first series and a first conductive line of the second series are coupled with a first component through a first conductive path. A second conductive line of the first series and a second conductive line of the second series are coupled with a second component through a second conductive path. The first and second conductive lines of the first series extend through first isolation circuitry to the first and second conductive paths, respectively; and the first and second conductive lines of the second series extend through second isolation circuitry to the first and second conductive paths, respectively.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a primary access transistor. The primary access transistor has a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region. The first and second source/drain regions are coupled to one another when the primary access transistor is in an ON mode, and are not coupled to one another when the primary access transistor is in an OFF mode. A charge-storage device is coupled with the first source/drain region. A digit line is coupled with the second source/drain region through a secondary access device. The secondary access device has an ON mode and an OFF mode. The digit line is coupled with the charge-storage device only when both the primary access transistor and the secondary access device are in their respective ON modes.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for sense line architectures for semiconductor memories are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first array region including first portions of a plurality of sense lines and memory cells coupled to the first portions of the plurality of sense lines and further includes a second array region including second portions of the plurality of sense lines and memory cells coupled to the second portions of the plurality of sense lines. An array gap is disposed between the first and second array regions and includes third portions of the plurality of sense lines and does not include any memory cells. Each third portion of the plurality of sense lines includes conductive structures having vertical components configured to couple the first portions and second portions of the plurality of sense lines to provide an electrically continuous sense lines through the first and second array regions and the array gap.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to column select circuitry of a memory device. Specifically, the column select circuitry includes a pre-header circuit coupled to a pre-driver circuit. The pre-header circuit is configured to couple a gate of a transistor of a main column select driver circuit of the column select circuitry to a first voltage supply during operation and a second voltage supply when in a standby state. A voltage of the second voltage supply is greater than a voltage of the first voltage supply. The voltage of the second power supply applied to the gate of the transistor of the main column select driver circuit reduces current leakage through the transistor and enables a reduction in a size of the column select circuitry.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for operating a ferroelectric memory cell or cells are described. A memory array may be operated in a half density mode, in which a subset of the memory cells is designated as reference memory cells. Each reference memory cell may be paired to an active memory cell and may act as a reference signal when sensing the active memory cell. Each pair of active and reference memory cells may be connected to a single access line. Sense components (e.g., sense amplifiers) associated with reference memory cells may be deactivated in half density mode. The entire memory array may be operated in half density mode, or a portion of the array may operate in half density mode and the remainder of the array may operate in full density mode.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a base comprising sense-amplifier-circuitry, a first deck over the base, and a second deck over the first deck. The first deck includes a first portion of a first array of first memory cells, and includes a first portion of a second array of second memory cells. The second deck includes a second portion of the first array of the first memory cells, and includes a second portion of the second array of the second memory cells. A first digit line is associated with the first array, and a second digit line is associated with the second array. The first and second digit lines are comparatively coupled with one another through the sense-amplifier-circuitry.

Abstract: In the examples disclosed herein, a memory array can have a first group of memory cells coupled to a first digit line at a first level and a second group of memory cells coupled to a second digit line at the first level. A third digit line can be at a second level and can be coupled to a main sense amplifier. A first vertical thin film transistor (TFT) can be at a third level between the first and second levels can be coupled between the first digit line and the third digit line. A second vertical TFT can be at the third level and can be coupled between the second digit line and the third digit line. A local sense amplifier can be coupled to the first and second digit lines.
