    Abstract: Described herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods associated with metal-assisted transistors. A single crystal semiconductor material may be seeded from a metal. The single crystal semiconductor material may form a channel region, a source, region, and/or a drain region of the transistor. The metal may form the source contact or drain contact, and the source region, channel region, and drain region may be stacked vertically on the source contact or drain contact. Alternatively, a metal-assisted semiconductor growth process may be used to form a single crystal semiconductor material on a dielectric material adjacent to the metal. The portion of the semiconductor material on the dielectric material may be used to form the transistor. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: A programmable array including a plurality of cells aligned in a row on a substrate, wherein each of the plurality of cells includes a programmable element and a transistor, the transistor including a body including a first diffusion region and a second diffusion region on the first diffusion region and separated by a channel and the programmable element is disposed on the second diffusion region and includes a width dimension equivalent to a width dimension of the body of the transistor. A method of forming an integrated circuit including forming bodies in a plurality rows on a substrate, each of the bodies including a programmable element and a first diffusion region, a second diffusion region and a channel of a transistor; forming a masking material as a plurality of rows across the bodies; etching the bodies through the masking material; and replacing the masking material with an address line material.
