Abstract:
1. A memory device comprising: a memory cell that includes a storage node, a first electrode, and a second electrode, the storage node configured to store an electrical charge, wherein the first electrode is movable to connect to the storage node when the second electrode is energized, and wherein the second electrode is disposed between the storage node and the first electrode in a direction perpendicular to a major horizontal plane of a substrate on which the memory cell is disposed, wherein the first electrode comprises a vertical portion, a first horizontal portion, and a second horizontal portion, wherein the vertical portion is substantially perpendicular with respect to the major horizontal plane of the substrate, and the first and second horizontal portions are substantially parallel with respect to the major horizontal plane of the substrate, and wherein a first end of the vertical portion is connected to a first end of the first horizontal portion, a second end of the first horizontal portion is fixed to an insulator pattern formed over the second electrode, a second end of the vertical portion is connected to a first end of the second horizontal portion.
