Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for interconnections for 3D memory are provided. One example apparatus can include a stack of materials including a plurality of pairs of materials, each pair of materials including a conductive line formed over an insulation material. The stack of materials has a stair step structure formed at one edge extending in a first direction. Each stair step includes one of the pairs of materials. A first interconnection is coupled to the conductive line of a stair step, the first interconnection extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to a first surface of the stair step.

Claim (Index 36):
A method, comprising:\n performing a program operation on a memory array including a string of memory cells and control lines coupled to the string and comprising: disabling an equalization circuit coupled to the control lines and the string;\n providing a first voltage level to a selected one of the control lines, \n providing a second voltage level to a non-selected one of the control lines, the second voltage level being higher than the first voltage level; after performing the program operation:\n providing a third voltage level to the selected one of the control lines, wherein the third voltage level is higher than a ground reference potential; and \n enabling the equalization circuit such that the selected one of the control lines is coupled to the non-selected one of the control lines.
