Abstract
A memory device, array and method of arranging where the memory device includes a memory cell region including a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell includes a source, a drain and a channel between the source and the drain, a channel dielectric, a charge storage region and an electrically alterable conductor-material system in proximity to the charge storage region. Cell lines extend among the memory cells. A connection region is provided for electrically coupling contacts and one or more of the cell lines. A non-memory region has embedded logic. Memory cells are arrayed at a cell pitch, with cell lines extending from cell to cell and arrayed substantially at the cell pitch, and with contacts arrayed substantially at the cell pitch forming a high density memory device.
