    摘要: A memory array and a method for electrically coupling memory cell access devices to a word line. The memory array includes a source line electrically coupled to each source terminal of the memory cell access devices. The memory array also includes a first set of at least two vertical pillars positioned above and electrically coupled to the source line. A second set of vertical pillars electrically isolated from the source line and positioned such that the source line does not extend below the second set of vertical pillars is also included. Furthermore, gate terminals of the memory cell access devices laterally surround the first set of vertical pillars and the second set of vertical pillars. Finally, a first word line contact is positioned between two of the second set of vertical pillars. The first word line contact is electrically coupled to the gate terminals.

    摘要: A method of forming an integrated photonic semiconductor structure having a photonic device and adjacent CMOS devices may include depositing a first silicon nitride layer over the adjacent CMOS devices and depositing an oxide layer over the first silicon nitride layer, wherein the oxide layer conformally covers the first silicon nitride layer and the underlying adjacent CMOS devices to form a substantially planarized surface over the adjacent CMOS devices. A second silicon nitride layer is then deposited over the oxide layer and a region corresponding to forming the photonic device. A germanium layer is deposited over the oxide layer and the region corresponding to forming the photonic device. The germanium layer deposited over the adjacent CMOS devices is etched to form a germanium active layer within the photonic region, whereby the oxide layer and the second silicon nitride layer protect the adjacent CMOS devices during the etching of the germanium.
