  • Patent number: 12150297
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure in a memory device is described. In an example, the IC structure includes a memory cell including a bitline (BL) extending along a first direction and a channel extending along a second direction above and diagonal to the BL. In the example, a wordline (WL) extends in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction of the BL and intersects with the channel to control a current in the channel along a gated channel length. In some examples, the channel is electrically coupled on a first side to a storage capacitor via a storage node contact (SNC) and on a second side to the BL via a bit line contact (BLC) located on an underside or backside of the channel.
