Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods with conductive plugs for a memory device are described. An example method includes: forming a plurality of shallow trench isolations elongating from a first surface of a semiconductor substrate toward a second surface of the semiconductor substrate; thinning the semiconductor substrate until first surfaces of the plurality of shallow trench isolations are exposed; forming a plurality of via holes, each via hole of the plurality of via holes through a corresponding one of the plurality of shallow trench isolations; and filling the plurality of via holes with a conductive material to form a plurality of conductive plugs.

Claim (Index 7):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a plurality of conductive plugs including the conductive plug; a plurality of shallow trench isolations including the first shallow trench isolation, wherein the plurality of conductive plugs are disposed through the substrate with, respectively, interventions of the plurality of shallow trench isolations; and a plurality of via holes, each via hole of the plurality of via holes disposed through a corresponding one of the plurality of shallow trench isolations.
