    Abstract: A memory structure comprises a semiconductor strip having a multi-gate channel region, the p-type terminal region adjacent a first side of the channel region and an n-type terminal region adjacent the second side of the channel region. A plurality of word lines is arranged to cross the semiconductor strip at cross points in the channel region. The bit line is coupled to a first end of the semiconductor strip, and a reference line is coupled to a second end of the semiconductor strip. Charge storage structures are disposed between the word lines in the plurality word lines and the channel region of the semiconductor strip, whereby memory cells are disposed in series along the semiconductor strip between the bit line and the reference line. Biasing unselected word lines can be used to select n-channel or p-channel modes in a single selected cell for read, program or erase.

    Abstract: Provided are a 3D flash memory and an array layout thereof. The 3D flash memory includes a gate stack structure, a annular channel pillar, a first source/drain pillar, a second source/drain pillar and a charge storage structure. The gate stack structure is disposed on a dielectric base and includes a plurality of gate layers electrically insulated from each other. The annular channel pillar is disposed on the dielectric base and penetrates through the gate stack structure. The first source/drain pillar and the second source/drain pillar are disposed on the dielectric base, are located within the channel pillar and penetrate through the gate stack structure. The first source/drain pillar and the second source/drain pillar are separated from each other and are each connected to the channel pillar. The charge storage structure is disposed between each of the plurality of gate layers and the channel pillar.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and apparatus for three-dimensional semiconductor structures are provided. In one aspect, a semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate, multiple conductive layers vertically stacked on the semiconductor substrate, and multiple transistors. The multiple conductive layers include a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a third conductive layer that are sequentially stacked together. The multiple transistors include a first transistor and a second transistor in the first conductive layer and a third transistor in the third conductive layer. Each transistor includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a gate terminal. First terminals of the first, second, and third transistors are conductively coupled to a first conductive node in the second conductive layer.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a stack and a plurality of memory strings respectively penetrating the stack along the first direction and including adjacent ones of the first memory string and the second memory string. The first memory string and the second memory string include conductive pillars (including first to third conductive pillars), channel structures, and memory structures. The first memory string and the second memory string share the second conductive pillar. The channel structures include first to fourth channel layers respectively extending along the first direction. The first channel layer and the second channel layer correspond to the first memory string and are separated from each other. The third channel layer and the fourth channel layer correspond to the second memory string and are separated from each other. The memory structures are disposed between the stack and the channel structures.
