The disclosed compositions of polyaryloxypyridine oligomers with phthalonile end groups are obtained by formation of a composition of polyaryloxypyridine oligomers with alkali phenolate end groups, followed with the reaction of said composition with 4-nitrophthalonitrile. Their average polycondensation degree may range from 1 to 50. They can be used in combination with a co-reactant derived from benzhydrol and containing one or two ortho-dinitrile functional groups, to constitute polyaryloxypyri...

Nonvolatile integrated circuit memory devices having ground interconnect lattices are provided to have reduced lateral dimensions because the ground interconnect lines therein occupy less total area. With respect to integrated circuit memory devices containing NAND strings of EEPROM memory cells, the ground select electrodes for respective first and second pluralities of NAND strings (on a first side of a metal ground line) are joined together so that the number of ground select electrodes cross...
