  • Publication number: 20250311193
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a two-dimensional array of unit cell structures overlying a substrate. Each unit cell structure includes an active layer, a gate dielectric underlying the active layer, two gate electrodes underlying the gate dielectric, and two source electrodes and a drain electrode overlying the active layer. Word lines underlie the active layers. Each unit cell structure includes portions of a respective set of four word lines, which includes two word lines that are electrically connected to two electrodes in the unit cell structure and two additional word lines that are electrically isolated from the two electrodes in the unit cell structure.
    Type: Application
