Abstract:
A memory includes a three-dimensional array including a plurality of levels is described. Each level includes a bit line pad, a source line pad, and a plurality of strips of semiconductor material extending between the bit line pad and the source line pad. The source line pad includes at least one n-type region and at least one p-type region. The memory includes word lines coupled to the plurality of strips in the plurality of levels. The memory includes data storage elements between the word lines and the strips of semiconductor material, whereby memory cells are disposed at cross-points of the strips and the word lines. The memory also includes circuitry coupled to the n-type region and the p-type region of the source line pad, configured to selectively enable current flow in the strips extending from the source line pad and one of the n-type region and the p-type region.
