Abstract: Some embodiments include an assembly having conductive structures distributed along a level within a memory array region and another region proximate the memory array region. The conductive structures include a first stack over a metal-containing region. A semiconductor material is within the first stack. A second stack is over the conductive structures, and includes alternating conductive tiers and insulative tiers. Cell-material-pillars are within the memory array region. The cell-material-pillars include channel material. The semiconductor material directly contacts the channel material. Conductive post structures are within the other region. Some of the conductive post structures are dummy structures and have bottom surfaces which are entirely along an insulative oxide material. Others of the conductive post structures are live posts electrically coupled with CMOS circuitry. Some embodiments include methods of forming assemblies.

Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a stack structure comprising a vertically alternating sequence of insulative structures and conductive structures arranged in tiers and the tiers arranged in decks. At least one live pillar, comprising a channel material, extends through the decks to a source/drain region. At least one source/drain contact also extends through the decks. In a transition area horizontally between the live pillar(s) and the source/drain contact(s), at least one dummy pillar extends through at least one of the decks. The dummy pillar(s) are separated from the source/drain region by at least one of the tiers of a lower of the decks. The dummy pillar(s) are also spaced from the source/drain contact(s). Additional microelectronic devices are also disclosed, as are related methods and electronic systems.
