  • Publication number: 20250210101
    Abstract: A microelectronic device comprises a periphery circuitry region, bank regions, a control circuitry structure, and a memory array structure. The periphery circuitry region comprises a central sub-region, and two arm sub-regions extending from the central sub-region from the central sub-region in a first horizontal direction. Each of the two arm sub-regions has a different length than the central sub-region in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction. The bank regions are horizontally outward of the periphery circuitry region. The control circuitry structure comprises relatively more speed-critical circuitry within a horizontal area of the periphery circuitry region, and relatively less speed-critical circuitry within horizontal areas of the bank regions. The memory array structure vertically underlies the control circuitry structure and comprises arrays of memory cells within the horizontal areas of the bank regions.

  • Publication number: 20250174264
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for structures for word line multiplexing in three-dimensional memory arrays are described. A memory die may include circuitry for access line multiplexing in regions adjacent to or between staircase regions. For example, a multiplexing region may include, for each word line of a stack of word lines, a respective first portion of a semiconductor material and a respective second portion of the semiconductor material, and may also include a gate material operable to modulate a conductivity between the first portions and the second portions. Each word line may be coupled with the respective first portion of the semiconductor material, such that biasing of the gate material may couple the word lines with the respective second portion of the semiconductor material. Such features may support various techniques for multiplexing associated with the stack of word lines, or among multiple stacks of word lines, or both.
