Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for thin film transistor random access memory are described. A memory device may include memory cells each having one or more transistors formed above a substrate. For example, a memory cell may include a transistor having a channel portion formed by one or more pillars or other structures formed above a substrate, and a gate portion including a conductor formed above the substrate and configured to activate the channel portion based at least in part on a voltage of the gate portion. A memory cell may include a set of two or more such transistors to support latching circuitry of the memory cell, or other circuitry configured to store a logic state, which may or may not be used in combination with one or more transistors formed at least in part from one or more portions of a substrate.
