  • Patent number: 9224741
    Abstract: The semiconductor device includes word lines on a semiconductor substrate, common gates connected to each of the word lines and vertically disposed in the semiconductor substrate, buried bit lines intersecting the word lines at a non-right angle in a plan view, and a pair of vertical transistors sharing each of the common gates. The pair of vertical transistors is disposed on both sides of one of the word lines. Further, the pair of vertical transistors is electrically connected to the two adjacent buried bit lines. Electronic systems including the semiconductor device and related methods are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8525298
    Abstract: A phase change memory device having a 3-D stack structure and a fabrication method for making the same are presented. The phase change memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, a word line structure and one or more phase change structures. The word line structure extends in one first direction on the semiconductor substrate. The one or more phase change structures extend mutually in parallel from one sidewall of the word line structure. The, the memory cell including a switching device, one side of the switching device contacted with the one sidewall of the word line structure, a heating electrode formed on the other side portion of the switching device, and a phase change pattern, one sidewall of the phase change pattern contacted with the heating electrode.

  • Patent number: 8232159
    Abstract: A phase change memory device having buried conduction lines directly underneath phase change memory cells is presented. The phase change memory device includes buried conduction lines buried in a semiconductor substrate and phase change memory cells arranged on top of the buried conductive lines. By having the buried conduction lines directly underneath the phase change memory cells, the resultant device can realize a considerable reduction in size.
