Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A method, comprising:
applying a first voltage to a first electrode of a first set of electrodes each coupled with a respective word line plate of a first stack of word line plates, the first electrode coupled with a first word line plate of the first stack that comprises a plurality of first word lines each coupled with one or more respective memory cells of a plurality of first memory cells, wherein a first word line decoder is operable to activate the first word line plate based at least in part on applying the first voltage to the first electrode;
applying a second voltage to a second electrode of a second set of electrodes each coupled with a respective word line plate of a second stack of word line plates, the second electrode coupled with a second word line plate of the second stack that comprises a plurality of second word lines each coupled with one or more respective memory cells of a plurality of second memory cells, wherein a second word line decoder is operable to activate the second word line plate based at least in part on applying the second voltage to the first electrode;
applying a fifth voltage to a first pillar of a plurality of first pillars extending through a stack of materials comprising the first word line plate and the second word line plate, the first pillar coupled with a first memory cell of the plurality of first memory cells;
applying a sixth voltage to a second pillar of a plurality of second pillars extending through the stack of materials, the second pillar coupled with a second memory cell of the plurality of second memory cells; and
simultaneously accessing the first memory cell of the plurality of first memory cells and the second memory cell of the plurality of second memory cells based at least in part on applying the first voltage to the first word line plate via the first electrode, applying the fifth voltage to the first pillar, applying the second voltage to the second word line plate via the second electrode, and applying the sixth voltage to the second pillar.
