摘要: Disclosed herein are related to a memory array including a set of memory cells and a set of switches to configure the set of memory cells. In one aspect, each switch is connected between a corresponding local line and a corresponding subset of memory cells. The local clines may be connected to a global line. Local lines may be metal rails, for example, local bit lines or local select lines. A global line may be a metal rail, for example, a global bit line or a global select line. A switch may be enabled or disabled to electrically couple a controller to a selected subset of memory cells through the global line. Accordingly, the set of memory cells can be configured through the global line rather than a number of metal rails to achieve area efficiency.

摘要: An integrated circuit is provided. The integrated circuit includes a three-dimensional memory device, a first word line driving circuit and a second word line driving circuit. The three-dimensional memory device includes stacking structures separately extending along a column direction. Each stacking structure includes a stack of word lines. The stacking structures have first staircase structures at a first side and second staircase structures at a second side. The word lines extend to steps of the first and second staircase structures. The first and second word line driving circuits lie below the three-dimensional memory device, and extend along the first and second sides, respectively. Some of the word lines in each stacking structure are routed to the first word line driving circuit from a first staircase structure, and others of the word lines in each stacking structure are routed to the second word line driving circuit from a second staircase structure.

摘要: Disclosed herein are related to a memory array. In one aspect, the memory array includes a set of resistive storage circuits including a first subset of resistive storage circuits connected between a first local line and a second local line in parallel. The first local line and the second local line may extend along a first direction. In one aspect, for each resistive storage circuit of the first subset of resistive storage circuits, current injected at a first common entry point of the first local line exits through a first common exit point of the second local line, such that each resistive storage circuit of the first subset of resistive storage circuits may have same or substantial equal resistive loading.

摘要: A memory device, a semiconductor device and manufacturing methods for forming the memory device and the semiconductor device are provided. The memory device includes a stacking structure, a switching layer, channel layers and pairs of conductive pillars. The stacking structure includes alternately stacked isolation layers and word lines, and extends along a first direction. The stacking structure has a staircase portion and a connection portion at an edge region of the stacking structure. The connection portion extends along the staircase portion and located aside the staircase portion, and may not be shaped into a staircase structure. The switching layer covers a sidewall of the stacking structure. The channel layers cover a sidewall of the switching layer, and are laterally spaced apart from one another along the first direction. The pairs of conductive pillars stand on the substrate, and in lateral contact with the switching layer through the channel layers.
