Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a vertically oriented transistor comprising:
a drain contact comprising ruthenium;
a source contact comprising additional ruthenium;
a channel region vertically interposed between drain contact and the source contact and comprising oxide semiconductor material;
a gate electrode horizontally neighboring the channel region and vertically interposed between drain contact and the source contact; and
a gate dielectric material horizontally interposed between the channel region and the gate electrode and vertically interposed between drain contact and the source contact, the gate dielectric material substantially confined within horizontal areas of the drain contact and the source contact;

a data line in electrical communication with the drain contact of the vertically oriented transistor;
a drain line comprising conductive material including one or more of tungsten and titanium nitride; and
a source line in electrical communication with the source contact of the vertically oriented transistor, the source line comprising additional conductive material.
