TECHNOLOGY FOR CREATING COMPOUNDS THROUGH A MATRIX OF MEMORY CELLS IN AN ENERGY INDEPENDENT MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

Technologies for routing access lines in non-volatile memory are described. In some embodiments the technologies include forming one or more through array vias in a portion of a memory array in a non-volatile memory, such as in an array region or peripheral region, one or more access lines may be routed through the through array via, instead of within a region above or below an array or peripheral region of the memory array. This can enable alternative routing configurations, and may enable additional access lines to be routed without increasing or substantially increasing the block height of the non-volatile memory. Non-volatile memory employing such technologies is also described.
