Abstract
A system and method for fabricating a memory array device. An example memory array device includes a plurality of memory cells, each including a FET over a substrate and a memory element over the FET. Each memory element includes a plurality of epitaxially grown memory element layers. The memory array device includes a plurality of gate conductors configured a first axis, in parallel. Each gate conductor laterally surrounds a plurality of FETs of the memory cells along the first axis. The memory array device includes a plurality of bit lines configured along a second axis, in parallel, and electrically coupled to a plurality of memory elements along the second axis. Embodiments of the memory array preserve alignment of crystal lattices beginning from the bottom layers in the FET up to the top active layers in memory element, thus preserving crystal lattice alignment between transistor and memory element.
