Each tile includes a plurality of memory cells arranged in horizontal word lines and vertical bit lines. A pre-decoder is configured to receive a set of encoded address signals to produce pre-decoding signals.

Abstract: A vertical structure extends through a tiered structure of alternating conductive and insulative materials. The vertical structure includes a channel structure and a tunneling structure. At least one of the conductive materials of the tiered structure provides a select gate tier (e.g., including a control gate for a select gate drain (SGD) transistor). Adjacent the select gate tier of the tiered structure, the tunneling structure consists of or consists essentially of an oxide-only material. Adjacent the word line tiers of the tiered structure, the tunneling structure comprises at least one material that is other than an oxide-only material, such as a nitride or oxynitride. The oxide-only material adjacent the select gate tier may inhibit unintentional loss of charge from a neighboring charge storage structure, which may improve the stability of the threshold voltage (Vth) of the select gate tier.

Abstract: Methods and network devices implement a lawful interception (LI) trigger control function as an LI target handler and a modified trigger control function. A generic LI triggering interface enables the modified trigger control function to query the LI target handler regarding whether entities using a network function instance are in a target list. The LI target handler has to meet the LI security requirements, but the modified trigger control function does not have to meet such requirements.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for transient and stable state read operations of a memory device are described. A memory system may implement a read operation including a delay if a channel is at stable state, and may implement a read operation without a delay if the channel is in a transient state. Upon receiving a read command to a set of memory cells sharing the channel, the memory system may determine whether the channel is in a stable or transient state. If the channel is in a stable state, the memory system may perform a read operation including a delay between boosting the channel and driving respective word lines, such that the channel partially discharges prior to driving the word lines. If the channel is in a transient state, the memory system may perform a read operation without a delay between boosting the channel and driving the word lines.
