A vertical 1t-1c dram array

Abstract

A programmable array including a plurality cells aligned in a row on a substrate, wherein each of the plurality of cells includes a programmable element and a transistor, wherein the transistor includes a body including a first diffusion region and a second diffusion region on the first diffusion region and separated by a channel and the programmable element is disposed on the second diffusion region. A method of forming an integrated circuit including forming transistor bodies in a plurality rows on a substrate; forming a masking material as a plurality of rows across the bodies; etching the bodies through the masking material to define a width dimension of the transistor bodies; after etching the bodies, patterning each of the plurality of rows of the masking material into a plurality of individual masking units; and replacing each of the plurality of individual masking units with a programmable element.
