    Abstract: Semiconductor die assemblies with decomposable materials, and associated methods and systems are disclosed. In an embodiment, a semiconductor die assembly includes a memory controller die carrying one or more memory dies attached to its first side. The semiconductor die assembly also includes a biodegradable structure attached to its second side opposite to the first side. The biodegradable structure includes a conductive material and an insulating material, both of which are biodegradable and disintegrate in a wet process. The biodegradable structure can be configured to couple the memory controller die with an interface die. In this manner, when the biodegradable structure disintegrates (e.g., dissolve) in the wet process, the memory controller carrying the memory dies can be separated from the interface die to reclaim the memory controller with the memory dies and the interface die.

    Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a memory array structure and a control circuitry structure vertically overlying and bonded to the memory array structure. The memory array structure includes array regions respectively including memory cells, digit lines, and word lines within horizontal areas thereof. The control circuitry structure includes control circuitry regions, sense amplifier (SA) sections including SA circuitry, and sub-word line driver (SWD) sections including SWD circuitry. The control circuitry regions horizontally overlap the array regions of the memory array structure. The SA sections respectively horizontally overlap each of two of the control circuitry regions horizontally neighboring one another in a first direction. The SWD sections are respectively interposed between two other of the control circuitry regions horizontally neighboring one another in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Additional microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for thin film transistor deck selection in a memory device are described. A memory device may include memory arrays arranged in a stack of decks formed over a substrate, and deck selection components distributed among the layers to leverage common substrate-based circuitry. For example, each memory array of the stack may include a set of digit lines of a corresponding deck, and deck selection circuitry operable to couple the set of digit lines with a column decoder that is shared among multiple decks. To access memory cells of a selected memory array on one deck, the deck selection circuitry corresponding to the memory array may each be activated, while the deck selection circuitry corresponding to a non-selected memory array on another deck may be deactivated. The deck selection circuitry, such as transistors, may leverage thin-film manufacturing techniques, such as various techniques for forming vertical transistors.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for word line drivers for multiple-die memory devices are described. A memory device may include a first semiconductor die associated with at least memory cells and corresponding access lines of the memory device, and a second semiconductor die associated with at least access line driver circuitry of the memory device. The second semiconductor die may be located in contact with or otherwise adjacent to the first semiconductor die, and electrical contacts may be formed to couple the access line driver circuitry of the second semiconductor die with the access line conductors of the first semiconductor die. For example, cavities may be formed through the second semiconductor die and at least a portion of the first semiconductor die, and the electrical contacts may be formed between the semiconductor dies at least in part from forming a conductive material in the cavities.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to medical device data analysis are described. In some examples, a medical device is implanted in a user of the medical device and the data generated by the medical device is not easily accessible to the user. In an example, a controller can be configured to receive, by a mobile device coupled to a medical device, data from the medical device, where the data is a part of a baseline dataset related to the medical device. The controller can be configured to receive different data from the medical device, where the different data is received from the medical device as the different data is generated by the medical device, analyze the data from the medical device and the different data generated by the medical device, and perform an action based on the analyzed data and the different data generated by the medical device.
