Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to a sense line and cell contact for a semiconductor structure are described. An example apparatus includes a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region, where the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region are separated by a channel, a gate opposing the channel, a sense line material coupled to the first source/drain region by a cell contact, where the cell contact is made from a combination of a first polysilicon material and a second polysilicon material, and a storage node coupled to the second source/drain region.
