Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having a bottom electrode contact for an array of vertically stacked memory cells. The bottom electrode contact is formed in a periphery region. The bottom electrode contact is electrically coupled to a number of bottom electrodes of capacitors that are also formed in the periphery region.
