Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multi-deck memory arrays are described. A multi-deck memory device may include a memory array with a cell having a self-selecting memory element and another array with a cell having a memory storage element and a selector device. The device may be programmed to store multiple combinations of logic states using cells of one or more decks. Both the first deck and second deck may be coupled to at least two access lines and may have one access line that is a common access line, coupling the two decks. Additionally, both decks may overlie control circuitry, which facilitates read and write operations. The control circuitry may be configured to write a first state or a second state to one or both of the memory decks via the access lines.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a construction having a first memory array deck and a second memory array deck over the first memory array deck. The second memory array deck differs from the first memory array deck in one or more operating characteristics, in pitch, and/or in one or more structural parameters; with the structural parameters including different materials and/or different thicknesses of materials. Some embodiments include a construction having a first series and a third series of access/sense lines extending along a first direction, and a second series of access/sense lines between the first and third series and extending along a second direction which crosses the first direction. First memory cells are between the first and second series of access/sense lines and arranged in a first memory array deck. Second memory cells are between the second and third series of access/sense lines and arranged in a second memory array deck.

Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming memory cells. Heater structures are formed over an array of electrical nodes, and phase change material is formed across the heater structures. The phase change material is patterned into a plurality of confined structures, with the confined structures being in one-to-one correspondence with the heater structures and being spaced from one another by one or more insulative materials that entirely laterally surround each of the confined structures. Some embodiments include memory arrays having heater structures over an array of electrical nodes. Confined phase change material structures are over the heater structures and in one-to-one correspondence with the heater structures. The confined phase change material structures are spaced from one another by one or more insulative materials that entirely laterally surround each of the confined phase change material structures.
