SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447232 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a new method of manufacturing semiconductor devices with memory cells that have a double sided word line structure.

• The memory cells have two word lines, one on each side of the cells.
• The first word line is located on one side of the memory cells.
• The second word line is located on the opposite side of the memory cells.
• This double sided word line structure improves the performance and efficiency of the semiconductor devices.
• The method provides a more compact and cost-effective way of manufacturing memory cells.

Original Abstract Submitted

Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacturing the same are provided in which memory cells are manufactured with a double sided word line structure. In embodiments a first word line is located on a first side of the memory cells and a second word line is located on a second side of the memory cells opposite the first side.
