Abstract: A memory device includes a first plurality of memory cells, a second plurality of memory cells, and a local sense amplifier between the first plurality of memory cells and the second plurality of memory cells, all on a first level, and a local bit line on a second level. The second level is vertically separated by one or more first inter-level dielectric layers from the first level in a first direction and the local bit line is electrically coupled to each memory cell of the first plurality of memory cells and the second plurality of memory cells, as well as the local sense amplifier. The memory device also includes a global bit line on a third level vertically separated by one or more inter-level dielectric layers from the first level in a second direction opposite the first direction, with the global bit line electrically coupled to the local sense amplifier.

Abstract: Described herein are apparatuses, methods, and systems associated with a deep trench via in a three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC). The 3D IC may include a logic layer having an array of logic transistors. The 3D IC may further include one or more front-side interconnects on a front side of the 3D IC and one or more back-side interconnects on a back side of the 3D IC. The deep trench may be in the logic layer to conductively couple a front-side interconnect to a back-side interconnect. The deep trench via may be formed in a diffusion region or gate region of a dummy transistor in the logic layer. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Vertical thin film transistors (TFTs) including a gate electrode pillar clad with a gate dielectric. The gate dielectric is further clad with a semiconductor layer. Source or drain metallization is embedded in trenches formed in an isolation dielectric adjacent to separate regions of the semiconductor layer. During TFT operation, biasing of the gate electrode can induce one or more transistor channel within the semiconductor layer, electrically coupling together the source and drain metallization. A width of the channel may be proportional to a height of the gate electrode pillar clad by the semiconductor layer, while a length of the channel may be proportional to the spacing between contacts occupied by the semiconductor layer. In some embodiments, a memory device may include cells comprising a vertical thin film select transistor and a capacitor (1TFT-1C).

Abstract: Embodiments include an embedded dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device, a method of forming an embedded DRAM device, and a memory device. An embedded DRAM device includes a dielectric having a logic area and a memory area, and a trace and a via disposed in the logic area of dielectric. The embedded DRAM device further includes ferroelectric capacitors disposed in the memory area of dielectric, where each ferroelectric capacitor includes a first electrode, a ferroelectric layer, and a second electrode, and where the ferroelectric layer surrounds the first electrode of each ferroelectric capacitor and extends along a top surface of the dielectric in the memory area.
