Abstract

Methods of forming memory devices include providing a substrate, forming source, channel, and drain layers over the substrate, and patterning the source, channel, and drain layers into an array of memory switches each having a cross-sectional area less than 6 F2. The channel layer has a doping type different from a doping type of the source layer, and the drain layer has a doping type different from a doping type of the channel layer.
