摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for multiple metal word line gates in a three dimensional (3D) memory array are described. A multi-metal control gate may be formed and used to access the memory cells. The metals may be selected such that an electric field induced in the memory cell during access is relatively even across its area. For example, metals having different work functions or resistivities may induce different electric fields. Accordingly, metals may be selected to increase an electric field induced in a planar region in the memory cell relative to if a single metal control gate were implemented such that relatively even electric fields are induced throughout the memory cell. To support formation of the multi-metal control gate, a portion of the metal forming the control gate may be partially etched and replaced with one or more other metals to form the multi-metal control gate.

摘要: Some embodiments include a method of forming vertically-stacked memory cells. An opening is formed through a stack of alternating insulative and conductive levels. Cavities are formed to extend into the conductive levels. Regions of the insulative levels remain as ledges which separate adjacent cavities from one another. Material is removed from the ledges to thin the ledges, and then charge-blocking dielectric and charge-storage structures are formed within the cavities. Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a stack of alternating insulative levels and conductive levels. Cavities extend into the conductive levels. Ledges of the insulative levels separate adjacent cavities from one another. The ledges are thinned relative to regions of the insulative levels not encompassed by the ledges. Charge-blocking dielectric and charge-storage structures are within the cavities.
