  • Publication number: 20190259769
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a memory cell with two transistors and one capacitor. The transistors are a first transistor and a second transistor. The capacitor has a first node coupled with a source/drain region of the first transistor, and has a second node coupled with a source/drain region of the second transistor. The memory cell has a first body region adjacent the source/drain region of the first transistor, and has a second body region adjacent the source/drain region of the second transistor. A first body connection line couples the first body region of the memory cell to a first reference voltage. A second body connection line couples the second body region of the memory cell to a second reference voltage. The first and second reference voltages may be the same as one another, or may be different from one another.

  • Patent number: 10388864
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a transistor having a drain region and a source region. A conductive gate is between the source and drain regions. First channel material is between the gate and the source region. The first channel material is spaced from the gate by one or more insulative materials. Second channel material is between the first channel material and the source region, and directly contacts the source region. The first and second channel materials are transition metal chalcogenide. One of the source and drain regions is a hole reservoir region and the other is an electron reservoir region. Tunnel dielectric material may be between the first and second channel materials.

  • Publication number: 20190181143
    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus having a transistor associated with a vertically-extending semiconductor pillar. The transistor includes an upper source/drain region within the vertically-extending semiconductor pillar, a lower source/drain region within the vertically-extending semiconductor pillar, and a channel region within the vertically-extending semiconductor pillar and between the upper and lower source/drain regions. The transistor also includes a gate along the channel region. A wordline is coupled with the gate of the transistor. A digit line is coupled with the lower source/drain region of the transistor. A programmable device is coupled with the upper source/drain region of the transistor. A body connection line is over the wordline and extends parallel to the wordline. The body connection line has a lateral edge that penetrates into the vertically-extending semiconductor material pillar. The body connection line is of a different composition than the semiconductor material pillar.

  • Publication number: 20190172520
    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus which has a wordline coupled with a transistor gate, and which has a compensator line extending along the wordline and spaced from the wordline by a dielectric region. A driver is coupled with the wordline, and a controller is coupled with the compensator line. The wordline is coupled with access transistors, and is operated at a first voltage while the access transistors are in an OFF state. The compensator line is operated at a second voltage while the wordline is at the first voltage; with the second voltage being greater than the first voltage. The wordline is operated at a third voltage while the access transistors are in an ON state, and the compensator line is operated at a fourth voltage while the wordline is at the third voltage. The third voltage may or may not be greater than the fourth voltage.
