Abstract
Techniques for electronic memory are described. A method for forming a memory array may include forming memory cells, a dielectric material between word lines, and a sealing material on sidewalls of the dielectric material. The method may also include removing at least a portion of the sealing material to expose the dielectric material. Also, the method may include forming one or more voids in the dielectric material, where the one or more voids may separate the word lines from one another. The memory array may include the memory cells, the word lines, pillars, and piers, where the word lines may be separated from one another by the one or more voids to form air gaps.
