Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A non-volatile storage apparatus, comprising:
a memory die comprising:
a three dimensional non-volatile memory structure that includes word lines and bit lines connected to non-volatile memory cells, the non-volatile memory cells are arranged in blocks;
a first set of bond pads;
a first set of one or more metal layers configured to connect the word lines and the bit lines to the first set of bond pads; and

a control die bonded to the memory die, the control die comprising:
a second set of bond pads bonded to the first set of bond pads;
a substrate;
one or more circuits on the substrate, the one or more circuits include word line switch transistors arranged in groups of four word line switch transistors such that each group of four word line switch transistors is positioned in a line under three blocks of non-volatile memory cells and has a length that is equal to the width of the three blocks of non-volatile memory cells; and
a second set of one or more metal layers above the one or more circuits and configured to connect the word line switch transistors to the second set of bond pads for communication of electrical signals from the word line switch transistors to the word lines via the first set of bond pads and the first set of one or more metal layers.
