Abstract:
An embodiment includes a memory array comprising: a memory cell including a switch stack in series with a memory stack; and a bit line above the memory cell and a word line below the memory cell; wherein (a) first switch stack sidewalls of the switch stack are vertically aligned with bit line sidewalls of the bit line and second switch stack sidewalls of the switch stack are vertically aligned with word line sidewalls of the word line; (b) first memory stack sidewalls of the memory stack are vertically aligned with the bit line sidewalls and second memory stack sidewalls of the memory stack are vertically aligned with the word line sidewalls. Other embodiments are described herein.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n forming a switch stack plane and a memory stack plane both on a first metal layer; locating a first mask over the memory stack plane and, based on the first mask, removing portions of the switch stack plane, the memory stack plane, and the first metal layer to form a switch stack bar and a memory stack bar over a word line formed from the first metal layer, wherein first switch stack sidewalls of the switch stack bar and first memory stack sidewalls of the memory stack bar are vertically aligned with word line sidewalls of the word line; forming a second metal layer on the word line; and locating a second mask over the word line and, based on the second mask, removing portions of the switch stack bar, the memory stack bar, and the second metal layer to form a memory cell including portions of the switch stack bar and the memory stack bar below a bit line formed from the second metal layer, wherein second switch stack sidewalls of the remaining switch stack bar portion and second memory stack sidewalls of the remaining memory stack bar portion are vertically aligned with bit line sidewalls of the bit line.
