Abstract
Les modes de réalisation de la présente demande appartiennent au domaine technique des dispositifs de mémoire, et concernent en particulier un réseau de mémoire et son procédé de fabrication, une mémoire, un dispositif électronique et un procédé de lecture-écriture. Les modes de réalisation de la présente demande visent à résoudre le problème de lecture lente de données de réseaux de mémoire. Dans le réseau de mémoire, le procédé de fabrication de réseau de mémoire et le procédé de lecture-écriture décrits dans les modes de réalisation de la présente demande, chaque couche de dispositif comprend une première couche d'électrode, une première couche d'isolation et une plaque d'électrode qui sont empilées ; et les premières couches d'électrode sont électriquement connectées l'une à l'autre. Pendant la lecture de données, les premières couches d'électrode et un pilier de grille peuvent être alimentés, ce qui permet à chaque transistor de mémoire formé par le pilier de grille et à chaque couche de dispositif d'être dans un état lisible par des données ; au moyen des plaques d'électrode, des données dans les transistors de mémoire correspondant aux plaques d'électrode peuvent alors être lues, de sorte que tous les transistors de mémoire formés par le pilier de grille et les couches de dispositif doivent être dans un état de mise sous tension, ce qui permet d'augmenter la vitesse de lecture de données.
