Abstract
A monolithic three dimensional memory array comprising Schottky diodes components separated by antifuses is disclosed. The Schottky diodes are vertically oriented and disposed on alternating levels. Those on odd levels are 'rightside-up' with antifuse over the metal, and those on even levels are 'upside down' with metal over the antifuse. Both antifuses are preferably grown oxides.
