Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for deck selection layouts in a memory device are described. In some implementations, a tile of a memory array may be associated with a level above a substrate, and may include a set of memory cells, a set of digit lines, and a set of word lines. Selection transistors associated with a tile of memory cells may be operable for coupling digit lines of the tile with circuitry outside the tile, and may be activated by various configurations of one or more access lines, where the various configurations may be implemented to trade off or otherwise support design and performance characteristics such as power consumption, layout complexity, operational complexity, and other characteristics. Such techniques may be implemented for other aspects of tile operations, including memory cell shunting or equalization, tile selection using transistors of a different level, or signal development, or various combinations thereof.
