US Patent 11588104 Resistive memory with vertical transport transistor

Embodiments of the present invention include a memory cell that has a vertically-oriented fin. The memory cell may also include a resistive memory device located on a first lateral side of the fin. The resistive memory device may include a bottom electrode, a top electrode, and a resistive element between the bottom electrode and the top electrode. The memory cell may also include a vertical field-effect transistor having a metal gate and a gate dielectric contacting a second lateral side of the fin opposite the first lateral side.
