    Abstract: Embodiments are provided that include a circuit for generating voltage in a memory. One such circuit includes a charge pump circuit including a first transistor, a high-voltage switch circuit, and a cut-off switch circuit arranged to reduce leakage current from the charge pump circuit. The cut-off switch circuit includes a second transistor, wherein an output of the charge pump circuit is coupled to one of a source node and a drain node of the second transistor, and a first control signal is input at a gate of the second transistor. Further embodiments provide a method for generating voltage. One such method includes enabling a first transistor coupled to an output of a charge pump circuit when the charge pump is operating and disabling the first transistor coupled to the output of the charge pump circuit when the charge pump circuit is not operating.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus having semiconductor pillars in a modified hexagonal packing arrangement. The modified hexagonal packing arrangement includes a repeating pattern having at least portions of 7 different pillars. Each of the 7 different pillars is immediately adjacent to six neighboring pillars. A distance to two of the six neighboring pillars is a short distance, ds; and a distance to four of the six neighboring pillars is a long distance, dl. Some embodiments include an apparatus having semiconductor pillars in a packing arrangement. The packing arrangement comprises alternating first and second rows, with pillars in the first rows being laterally offset relative to pillars in the second rows. A distance between neighboring pillars in a common row as one another is a short distance, ds, and a distance between neighboring pillars that are not in common rows as one another is a long distance, dl.
