Three dimensional memory array

A three dimensional memory array, comprising:

• a plurality of conductive lines separated from one other by an insulation material, wherein each respective one of the plurality of conductive lines is divided into a first sub-plane and a second sub-plane;
• and
• a plurality of vertical stacks, wherein each respective one of the plurality of vertical stacks includes:
• a conductive extension arranged to extend substantially perpendicular to the plurality of conductive lines;
• a conductive cylinder formed around the conductive extension;
• and
• a storage element material formed around the conductive cylinder and having two different contacts with each respective one of the plurality of conductive lines, wherein one of the contacts with each respective conductive line is with the first sub-plane of that respective conductive line, and the other one of the contacts with each respective conductive line is with the second sub-plane of that respective conductive line.

A method of processing a three dimensional memory array, comprising:

• forming a conductive line material in a plurality of planes separated from one another by an insulation material;
• forming an opening through the conductive line material in the plurality of planes such that the conductive line material in each respective one of the plurality of planes is divided into a first sub-plane and a second-sub plane;
• forming a storage element material in the opening such that the storage element material has two different contacts with the conductive line material in each respective one of the plurality of planes, wherein one of the contacts with the conductive line material in each respective plane is with the first sub-plane of that respective plane and the other one of the contacts with the conductive line material in each respective plane is with the second sub-plane of that respective plane;
• forming a conductive cylinder in the opening after forming the storage element material in the opening;
• and
• forming a conductive extension in the opening after forming the conductive cylinder in the opening.
