    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a set of selection transistors, such as in a three-dimensional memory structure or stack having resistance change memory cells arranged along vertical bit lines. Each selection transistor has a non-shared control gate and a shared control gate. The transistor bodies may have an unequal pitch and a common height. Some of the transistor bodies can be misaligned with the vertical bit lines to fit the transistors to the stack. A method for programming the three-dimensional memory structure includes forming one or two channels in a transistor body to provide a current to selected memory cells. Programming can initially use one channel and subsequently use two channels based on a programming progress. A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching a gate conductor material so that shared and non-shared control gates have a common height.

    Abstract: A method of forming sidewall gates for vertical transistors includes depositing a gate dielectric layer over polysilicon channel structures, and depositing a gate polysilicon layer over the gate dielectric. The gate polysilicon layer is then etched back to form separated gate electrodes. Filler portions are then formed between gate electrodes, which are then etched from the top down while their sides are protected.

    Abstract: An alternating material stack of insulator lines and first electrically conductive material layers is formed over a substrate, and is patterned to provide alternating stacks of insulating layers and first electrically conductive lines. A metal can be selectively deposited on the physically exposed sidewalls of the first electrically conductive material layers to form metal lines, while not growing from the surfaces of the insulator lines. The metal lines are oxidized to form metal oxide lines that are self-aligned to the sidewalls of the first electrically conductive lines. Vertically extending second electrically conductive lines can be formed as a two-dimensional array of generally pillar-shaped structures between the alternating stacks of the insulator lines and the first electrically conductive lines. Each portion of the metal oxide lines at junctions of first and second electrically conductive lines constitute a resistive memory element for a resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device.
