Memory device having 2-transistor vertical memory cell and shield structures

Abstract

Some embodiments include apparatuses in which one of such apparatus includes a first memory cell including a first transistor having a first channel region coupled between a data line and a conductive region, and a first charge storage structure located between the first data line and the conductive region, and a second transistor having a second channel region coupled to and located between the first data line and the first charge storage structure; a second memory cell including a third transistor having a third channel region coupled between a second data line and the conductive region, and a second charge storage structure located between the second data line and the conductive region, and a fourth transistor having a fourth channel region coupled to and located between the second data line and the second charge storage structure; a conductive line forming a gate of each of the first, second, third, and fourth transistors; and a conductive structure located between the first and second charge storage structures and electrically separated from the conductive region.
