A memory array comprising laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprises a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. Channel-material strings of memory cells extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. The laterally-spaced memory blocks in a lower one of the conductive tiers comprises elemental-form metal that extends longitudinally-along the laterally-spaced memory blocks proximate laterally-outer sides of the laterally-spaced memory blocks. A metal silicide or a metal-germanium compound is directly against laterally-inner sides of the elemental-form metal in the lower conductive tier and that extends longitudinally-along the laterally-spaced memory blocks in the lower conductive tier. The metal of the metal silicide or of the metal-germanium compound is the same as that of the elemental-form metal. Other embodiments, including method, are disclosed.
