1. A method for fabricating a self-aligned, three-dimensional structure of memory cells comprising the steps of:

  • forming a first conducting layer;

    forming a first semiconductor layer coupled to the first conducting layer;

    forming a second semiconductor layer coupled to the first semiconductor layer;

    patterning the second semiconductor layer;

    etching the second semiconductor layer, the first semiconductor layer and the first conducting layer;

    forming a second conducting layer coupled to the second semiconductor layer;

    patterning and etching the second conducting layer;

    etching the second semiconductor layer using the second conducting layer as a mask to form a plurality of semiconducting devices of a second kind, and etching the first semiconductor layer using the second conducting layer as a mask to form a plurality of semiconducting devices of a first kind.
