Abstract
An electronic device comprises a stack of alternating dielectric materials and conductive materials, a pillar region extending vertically through the stack, an oxide material within the pillar region and laterally adjacent to the dielectric materials and the conductive materials of the stack, and a storage node laterally adjacent to the oxide material and within the pillar region. A charge confinement region of the storage node is in horizontal alignment with the conductive materials of the stack. A height of the charge confinement region in a vertical direction is less than a height of a respective, laterally adjacent conductive material of the stack in the vertical direction. Related methods and systems are also disclosed.
