Integrated planar transistors and memory cell array architectures

Abstract

Memory device architectures including integrated high voltage planar transistor support circuitry underlying memory cell arrays are discussed related to improving density and device performance Such memory device architectures include planar transistors having wide band gap channel materials integrated with memory cell arrays using a number of metallization layers. The metallization layers between the planar transistors and the memory cells are predominantly tungsten and the metallization layers in which the memory cells are embedded are predominantly a metal other than tungsten.
