    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to vertical memory cell structures and methods of manufacture. The vertical memory cell includes a vertical nanowire capacitor and vertical pass gate transistor. The vertical nanowire capacitor composes of: a plurality of vertical nanowires extending from an insulator layer; a dielectric material on vertical sidewalls of the plurality of vertical nanowires; doped material provided between the plurality of vertical nanowire; the pass gate transistor composes of: high-k dielectric on top part of the nanowire, metal layer surrounding high-k material as all-around gate. And there is dielectric layer in between vertical nanowire capacitor and vertical nanowire transistor as insulator. At least one bitline extending on a top of the plurality of vertical nanowires and in electrical contact therewith; and at least one wordline formed on vertical sidewalls of the plurality of vertical nanowires and separated therefrom by the dielectric material.
