MEMORY DEVICE HAVING SHARED READ/WRITE ACCESS LINE FOR 2-TRANSISTOR VERTICAL MEMORY CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233797 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE HAVING SHARED READ/WRITE ACCESS LINE FOR 2-TRANSISTOR VERTICAL MEMORY CELL

The abstract describes an apparatus with multiple data lines and a memory cell, including various materials and elements.

  • The apparatus includes a first data line, a second data line, and a third data line, all electrically separated from each other.
  • A memory cell is coupled to the data lines, with a first material between the first and second data lines.
  • A second material is located over the first data line and the first material, electrically separated from the first material and coupled to the third data line.
  • A memory element is electrically coupled to the second material, separated from the first material and data lines.

Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in memory storage devices, such as solid-state drives. - It may also have applications in advanced computing systems requiring high-speed data processing.
