Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a memory structure includes forming a plurality of vertically-stacked horizontal line layers, interleaving a plurality of electrically conductive vertical lines with the electrically conductive horizontal lines, and forming a memory film at and between intersections of the electrically conductive vertical lines and the horizontal lines. In one embodiment of the invention, the electrically conductive vertical lines are interleaved with the horizontal lines such that a row of vertical lines is positioned between each horizontally-adjacent pair of horizontal lines in each horizontal line layer. By configuring the electrically conductive vertical lines and electrically conductive horizontal lines so that a row of vertical lines is positioned between each horizontally-adjacent pair of horizontal lines, a unit memory cell footprint of just 2F2 may be realized.
