Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for single crystal silicon cores for stacked memory cells are described. A memory device may be formed using silicon cores that are each associated with a set of multiple memory cells. Multiple silicon cores may extend along a first direction, and multiple sleeves of memory materials and conductive materials may be formed around each silicon core. Each sleeve of memory materials may be associated with a respective memory cell and each conductive material may be associated with a word line, such that each silicon core may be associated with multiple memory cells. The respective sleeves of memory materials and conductive materials may be formed from larger sleeves of material that may be etched into sections of the memory materials and the conductive materials along the silicon cores.
