Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a transistor comprising:
a channel comprising oxide semiconductor material;
a drain contact vertically adjacent a first end of the channel and comprising ruthenium;
a source contact vertically adjacent a second end of the channel and comprising additional ruthenium;
a gate electrode horizontally neighboring the channel and vertically interposed between drain contact and the source contact; and
a gate dielectric material horizontally extending from and between the channel and the gate electrode, the gate dielectric material substantially confined within a horizontal area of each of the drain contact and source contact and vertically extending from a vertical boundary of the drain contact to a vertical boundary of the source contact;

a data line in physical contact with the ruthenium of the drain contact of the transistor, the data line comprising one or more of tungsten and titanium nitride; and
a source line in physical contact with the additional ruthenium of the source contact of the transistor.
