    Abstract: A 3D memory device includes a plurality of ridge-shaped stacks, in the form of multiple strips of conductive material separated by insulating material, arranged as bit lines which can be coupled through decoding circuits to sense amplifiers. Diodes are connected to the bit lines at either the string select of common source select ends of the strings. The strips of conductive material have side surfaces on the sides of the ridge-shaped stacks. A plurality of word lines, which can be coupled to row decoders, extends orthogonally over the plurality of ridge-shaped stacks. Memory elements lie in a multi-layer array of interface regions at cross-points between side surfaces of the semiconductor strips on the stacks and the word lines.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit memory comprises a set of lines each line having parallel X direction line portions in a first region and Y direction line portions in a second region. The second region is offset from the first region. The lengths of the X direction line portions are substantially longer than the lengths of the Y direction line portions. The X direction and Y direction line portions have respective first and second pitches with the second pitch being at least 3 times larger than the first pitch. Contact pickup areas are at the Y direction line portions. In some examples, the lines comprise word lines or bit lines. The memory can be created using multiple patterning methods to create lines of material and then the parallel X direction line portions and parallel Y direction line portions.

    Abstract: An injection method for non-volatile memory cells with a Schottky source and drain is described. Carrier injection efficiency is controlled by an interface characteristic of silicide and silicon. A Schottky barrier is modified by controlling an overlap of a gate and a source/drain and by controlling implantation, activation and/or gate processes.

    Abstract: A 3D memory device includes a plurality of ridges, in some embodiments ridge-shaped, in the form of multiple strips of conductive material separated by insulating material, arranged as bit lines which can be coupled through decoding circuits to sense amplifiers. The strips of conductive material have side surfaces on the sides of the stacks. A plurality of conductive lines arranged as word lines which can be coupled to row decoders, extends orthogonally over the plurality of stacks. The conductive lines conform to the surface of the stacks. Memory elements lie in a multi-layer array of interface regions at cross-points between side surfaces of the semiconductor material strips on the stacks and the conductive lines. The memory elements are programmable, like the anti-fuses or charge trapping structures. In some embodiments, the 3D memory is made using only two critical masks for multiple layers. Some embodiments include a staircase-shaped structure positioned at ends of the semiconductor material strips. Some embodiments include SSL interconnects on a metal layer parallel to the semiconductor material strips, and further SSL interconnects on a higher metal layer, parallel to the word lines.

    Abstract: A charge trapping floating gate is described with asymmetric tunneling barriers. The memory cell includes a source region and a drain region separated by a channel region. A first tunneling barrier structure is disposed above the channel region. A floating gate is disposed above the first tunneling barrier structure covering the channel region. A second tunneling barrier is disposed above the floating gate. A dielectric charge trapping structure disposed above the second tunneling barrier and a blocking dielectric structure is disposed above the charge trapping structure. A top conductive layer disposed above the top dielectric structure acts as a gate. The second tunneling barrier is a more efficient conductor of tunneling current, under bias conditions applied for programming and erasing the memory cell, than the first tunneling barrier structure.
