CREATING DYNAMIC LATCHES ABOVE A THREE-DIMENSIONAL NON-VOLATILE MEMORY ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17895959 titled 'CREATING DYNAMIC LATCHES ABOVE A THREE-DIMENSIONAL NON-VOLATILE MEMORY ARRAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for manufacturing a memory device that includes a memory array and a logic layer above the memory array.

  • Memory array consists of memory cells arranged in memory strings along memory array pillars.
  • Logic layer consists of latches arranged along logic layer latch pillars.
  • Latches store a multi-bit data pattern representing a sequence of bits to be programmed to the memory cells of the memory array.
