Abstract:
1. A semiconductor construction, comprising: a stack comprising alternating levels of control gate material and intervening dielectric material; a rectangular channel material panel extending through the stack and along a first direction; the rectangular channel material panel dividing the stack into a first section on a first side of the rectangular channel material panel and a second section on a second side of the rectangular channel material panel, the rectangular channel material panel having a thickness between the first and second sides and having channel material throughout the thickness; the second side being in opposing relation to the first side; memory cell stacks between the rectangular channel material panel and the control gate material on both sides of the rectangular channel material panel; the memory cell stacks comprising cell dielectric material shaped as containers having open ends that open toward the rectangular channel material panel, and comprising charge-storage material within the containers; and a plurality of rectangular electrically insulative panels extending through the rectangular channel material panel and the stack, and sub-dividing the rectangular channel material panel into a plurality of segments; the rectangular channel material panel extending along a first direction, and the rectangular electrically insulative panels extending along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction.
