    Abstract: Methods for reducing location-based variations in the switching characteristics of memory cells within a memory array are described. In some cases, the resistance of an embedded resistor within each memory cell may be set to reduce the overall variation in series resistances for the memory cells within a memory array. For example, embedded resistors associated with far-far bits may be set to a lower resistance than embedded resistors associated with near-near bits. An embedded resistor may comprise a layer of polysilicon within a memory cell. Selective ion implantation may be used to reduce the embedded resistor resistance for memory cells within a particular region of the memory array and to form two or more different sets of embedded resistors within the memory array.

    Abstract: A 3D memory array having a vertically oriented thin film transistor (TFT) selection device that has a channel extension, otherwise referred to as a gate/junction offset, is disclosed. The vertically oriented TFT selection device with channel extension serves as a vertical bit line selection device in the 3D memory array. A vertical TFT select device having a channel extension has a high breakdown voltage and low leakage current. The channel extension can be at the top junction or bottom junction of the TFT. Depending on whether the memory elements undergo a forward FORM or reverse FORM, either the bottom or top junction can have the channel extension. This provides for a high voltage junction where needed.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional array of memory elements is formed across multiple layers of planes positioned at different distances above a semiconductor substrate. The memory elements reversibly change a level of electrical conductance in response to a voltage difference being applied across them. The three-dimensional array includes a two-dimensional array of pillar lines from the substrate through the multiple layers of planes. A first set of pillar lines acts as local bit lines for accessing the memory elements together with an array of word lines on each plane. A second set of pillar lines is connected to the word lines. An array of metal lines on the substrate is switchable connected to the pillar lines to provide access to the first and second sets of pillar lines, thereby to provide access respectively to the bit lines and word lines of the three-dimensional array.
