Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and devices for a decoding architecture for memory devices are described. Word line plates of a memory array may each include a sheet of conductive material that includes a first portion extending in a first direction within a plane along with multiple fingers extending in a second direction within the plane. Memory cells coupled with a word line plate, or a subset thereof, may represent a logical page for accessing memory cells. Each word line plate may be coupled with a corresponding word line driver via a respective electrode. A memory cell may be accessed via a first voltage applied to a word line plate coupled with the memory cell and a second voltage applied to a pillar electrode coupled with the memory cell. Parallel or simultaneous access operations may be performed for two or more memory cells within a same page of memory cells.
