    Abstract: Memory devices including vertical transistors and methods of forming such memory devices are disclosed. An example memory device includes a substrate, a BL in the substrate, a channel region over a portion of the BL, a second region over the channel region, an insulator wrapped around at least a portion of the channel region, and a WL. The BL also operates as one of a source region and a drain region of the transistor. The second region is the other one of the source region and the drain region. The WL wraps around at least a portion of the insulator and is separated from the channel region by the insulator. In some embodiments, the BL is formed in a trench in the substrate. An aspect ratio of the BL is in a range from 0.5 to 10. The BL may have a higher conductivity than the channel region.
