Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for a cross-point memory array and related fabrication techniques are described. The fabrication techniques described herein may facilitate concurrently building two or more decks of memory cells disposed in a cross-point architecture. Each deck of memory cells may include a plurality of first access lines (e.g., word lines), a plurality of second access lines (e.g., bit lines), and a memory component at each topological intersection of a first access line and a second access line. The fabrication technique may use a pattern of vias formed at a top layer of a composite stack, which may facilitate building a 3D memory array within the composite stack while using a reduced number of processing steps. The fabrication techniques may also be suitable for forming a socket region where the 3D memory array may be coupled with other components of a memory device.

Claim (Index 30):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a stack that comprises a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a memory layer between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer; a plurality of first electrodes in the first electrode layer; a plurality of second electrodes in the second electrode layer; and a plurality of memory material elements at the memory layer, each memory material element coupled at least one first electrode of the plurality of first electrodes and at least two second electrodes of the plurality of second electrodes.
