Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for memory arrays that use a conductive hard mask during formation and, in some cases, operation are described. A hard mask may be used to define features or components during the numerous material formation and removal steps used to create memory cells within a memory array. The hard mask may be an electrically conductive material, some or all of which may be retained during formation. A conductive line may be connected to each memory cell, and because the hard mask used in forming the cell may be conductive, the cell may be operable even if portions of the hard mask remain after formation.

Claim (Index 15):
The memory cell apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the conductive line extends in a first direction and the second conductive line extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
