Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for memory device with a split pillar architecture are described. A memory device may include a substrate arranged with conductive contacts in a pattern and openings through alternative layers of conductive and insulative material that may decrease the spacing between the openings while maintaining a dielectric thickness to sustain the voltage to be applied to the array. After etching material, an insulative material may be deposited in a trench. Portions of the insulative material may be removed to form openings, into which cell material is deposited. Conductive pillars may extend perpendicular to the planes of the conductive material and the substrate, and couple to conductive contacts. The conductive pillars and cell material may be divided to form a first and second storage components and first and second pillars.
