Method of forming microelectronic device structure with memory cells
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930634B2) discloses a method for forming a microelectronic device. The method involves creating a microelectronic device structure with memory cells, digit lines, word lines, and isolation materials. An additional microelectronic device structure is formed with control logic devices and isolation materials. These two structures are then attached to form an assembly, with the control logic devices positioned over the memory cells. Contact structures are then formed to connect the digit lines, word lines, and control logic devices. The method aims to efficiently integrate different components within the microelectronic device structure.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for forming a microelectronic device with memory cells, digit lines, word lines, and isolation materials. The process includes creating conductive contact structures and redistribution layer structures to facilitate communication between different components. The method also involves attaching an additional microelectronic device structure with control logic devices to the main structure, forming an assembly. Contact structures are then extended through the isolation materials to connect the digit lines, word lines, and control logic devices. This innovative approach aims to enhance the functionality and performance of microelectronic devices through a structured and efficient manufacturing process.
