Claim:
1. A non-volatile storage system, comprising: a global bit line; a first vertical thin film transistor (TFT) select device above a substrate and coupled to the global bit line, the first vertical TFT select device including a first gate that is separated from a first body by a gate dielectric, the first body extends vertically relative to the substrate, the first gate having a lower surface; a second vertical thin film transistor (TFT) select device above the substrate and coupled to the global bit line, the second TFT select device is horizontally adjacent to the first vertical TFT select device, the second TFT select device including a second gate that is separated from a second body by the gate dielectric, the second body extends vertically relative to the substrate, the second gate has a lower surface, the gate dielectric extends continuously over a portion of the global bit line between the first vertical TFT select device and the second vertical TFT select device; and a gap fill dielectric formed between the first vertical TFT select device and the second vertical TFT select device, the gap fill dielectric underlying the lower surface of the first gate and the lower surface of the second gate, the gap fill dielectric extending horizontally at least partially between the first gate and the second gate.
