Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods have been disclosed. One such apparatus includes a plurality of memory cells that can be formed at least partially surrounding a semiconductor pillar. A select device can be coupled to one end of the plurality of memory cells and at least partially surround the pillar. An asymmetric assist device can be coupled between the select device and one of a source connection or a drain connection. The asymmetric assist device can have a portion that at least partially surrounds the pillar and another portion that at least partially surrounds the source or drain connection.

Claim (Index 8):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a semiconductor pillar having a drain connection at one end and a source connection at an opposite end; a string of memory cells, wherein a portion of each memory cell of the string of memory cells at least partially surrounds the pillar; a symmetric select device coupled to an end of the string of memory cells, a portion of the select device at least partially surrounding the pillar; and an asymmetric assist device coupled between the select device and a first source or drain connection, the asymmetric assist device having a portion at least partially surrounding both the pillar and the first source or drain connection, wherein the symmetric select device shares an undoped junction with the string of memory cells and an undoped junction with the asymmetric assist device, wherein the asymmetric assist device shares an undoped junction with the select device and a doped junction with the first source or drain connection, and wherein the first source or drain connection is one of the drain connection or the source connection.
