  • Publication number: 20240098969
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes formed in tiers. And, more particularly, to multiple, alternating silicon germanium (SiGe) and single crystalline silicon (Si) in different thicknesses to form tiers in which to form the horizontal access devices in vertical three-dimensional (3D) memory. The horizontally oriented access devices can have a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions. The single crystalline silicon (Si) channel regions can include a dielectric material to provide support structure to the single crystalline channel regions when forming the horizontal access devices in vertical three-dimensional (3D) memory. Horizontally oriented access lines can connect to gate structures opposing the channel regions. Vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

  • Publication number: 20240098970
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices and storage nodes. The horizontally oriented access devices having a first source/drain regions and a second source drain regions separated by silicon (Si) channel regions. A digit line having a global digit line (GDL) contact is formed in a trench adjacent to the first source/drain regions. In one example, the digit line is electrically isolated from a neighboring digit line at the bottom of the trench. In another example, the digit line is formed continuously along a bottom surface of trench to form shared digit lines between horizontal access devices, in two separate arrays, on opposing second vertical surfaces. The memory cells have horizontally oriented storage nodes coupled to the second source/drain regions and vertical digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions.

  • Patent number: 5342531
    Abstract: A lubricant composition comprising a major proportion of polyalkylene glycol of lubricating viscosity and a minor proportion dissolved therein of (a) at least one sulphur-containing antiwear or extreme pressure agent, (b) at least one amine salt of at least one partially esterified monothiophosphoric acid, and (c) at least one amine salt of at least one partially esterified phosphoric acid. Such compositions have improved resistance to wear, oxidative degradation and metallic corrosion.

  • Patent number: 5254272
    Abstract: Lubricant compositions especially useful as hydraulic fluids contain a metal-free anti-wear or load-carrying additive containing sulphur and/or phosphorus and an amino succinate ester as corrosion inhibitor. Such compositions are free from heavy metal and have improved environmental acceptability where heavy metals are to be avoided, e.g. in agriculture. The lubricant base stock may be a biodegradable natural oil.

  • Patent number: 5126064
    Abstract: Lubricant compositions, especially suitable for limited slip differentials, containing sulphur-containing extreme pressure or anti-wear agents, are improved by incorporation of a substituted succinimide friction modifier. The resulting compositions reduce the level of noise produced during operation of the differential.
