Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for formation for memory cells are described. A semiconductor device (e.g., a memory die) may include asymmetrical rows of conductive pillars and one or more dielectric materials. For example, the memory die may include a set of conductive pillars that are arranged in rows that are asymmetrically spaced. Here, a first row of conductive pillars may be a first distance away from a second row of conductive pillars and a second, larger distance away from a third row of conductive pillars. Additionally, the memory die may include one or more dielectric materials. In some cases, when depositing a dielectric material as part of a self-aligning process, the material may conformally line exposed surfaces according to a substantially uniform depth, which may decrease a subsequent quantity of masking operations to form the memory die.
