NOR-TYPE MEMORY DEVICE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING NOR-TYPE MEMORY DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032301 titled 'NOR-TYPE MEMORY DEVICE, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING NOR-TYPE MEMORY DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes a nor-type memory device, its manufacturing method, and its inclusion in an electronic apparatus. The memory device consists of multiple device layers on a substrate, each containing a stack of a first source/drain layer, a first channel layer, and a second source/drain layer. A gate stack extends vertically through the device layers and includes a gate conductor layer and a memory functional layer between the gate conductor layer and the stack. A memory cell is defined at the intersection of the gate stack and the stack.
