Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for non-volatile memory. A plurality of layers of planar non-volatile memory cells forms a three-dimensional memory array. A plurality of word lines are coupled to planar non-volatile memory cells. Word lines may extend horizontally across layers of memory cells. A plurality of selector columns are coupled to planar non-volatile memory cells. Selector columns extend vertically through layers of memory cells, and may include central conductors surrounded by one or more concentric selective layers. One or more selective layers may permit an electrical current through a cell, between a word line and a central conductor, in response to a voltage satisfying a threshold.
