Abstract
Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods of using the apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes a substrate, a first deck including first memory cell strings located over the substrate, a second deck including second memory cell strings and located over the first deck, first data lines located between the first and second decks and coupled to the first memory cell strings, second data lines located over the second deck and coupled to the second memory cell strings, and first and second circuitries. The first and second data lines extending in a direction from a first portion of the substrate to a second portion of the substrate. The first buffer circuitry is located in the first portion of the substrate under the first memory cell strings of the first deck and coupled to the first data lines. The second buffer circuitry is located in the second portion of the substrate under the first memory cell strings of the first deck and coupled to the second data lines.
