Patent number: 12256553Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for on-die formation of single-crystal semiconductor structures are described. In some examples, a layer of semiconductor material may be deposited above one or more decks of memory cells and divided into a set of patches. A respective crystalline arrangement of each patch may be formed based on nearly or partially melting the semiconductor material, such that nucleation sites remain in the semiconductor material, from which respective crystalline arrangements may grow. Channel portions of transistors may be formed at least in part by doping regions of the crystalline arrangements of the semiconductor material. Accordingly, operation of the memory cells may be supported by lower circuitry (e.g., formed at least in part by doped portions of a crystalline semiconductor substrate), and upper circuitry (e.g., formed at least in part by doped portions of a semiconductor deposited over the memory cells and formed with a crystalline arrangement in-situ).Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jeffery Brandt Hull, Anish A.
