Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a stack of alternating dielectric materials and conductive materials arranged in tiers, each of the tiers including a dielectric material and a conductive material vertically neighboring the dielectric material;
a pillar region extending vertically through the stack;
an oxide material comprising a single material composition within the pillar region and laterally adjacent to and directly physically contacting the dielectric materials and the conductive materials of the stack; and
a storage node laterally adjacent to and directly physically contacting the oxide material and within the pillar region, a charge confinement region of the storage node in horizontal alignment with the conductive materials of the stack, and a height of the charge confinement region in a vertical direction less than a height of a respective, laterally adjacent conductive material of the stack in the vertical direction.
