Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming vertically-stacked memory cells. An opening is formed through a stack of alternating insulative and conductive levels. Cavities are formed to extend into the conductive levels. Regions of the insulative levels remain as ledges which separate adjacent cavities from one another. Material is removed from the ledges to thin the ledges, and then charge-blocking dielectric and charge-storage structures are formed within the cavities. Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a stack of alternating insulative levels and conductive levels. Cavities extend into the conductive levels. Ledges of the insulative levels separate adjacent cavities from one another. The ledges are thinned relative to regions of the insulative levels not encompassed by the ledges. Charge-blocking dielectric and charge-storage structures are within the cavities.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a bit line contact scheme in a memory system stack are described. A memory architecture may include bit lines coupled with bit line contacts, and pillars coupled with circuitry associated with supporting operation of the bit lines. Hybrid plugs may be integrated into the pillars to couple the bit line contacts with the pillars, forming a conductive path between the bit lines and the circuitry. The hybrid plugs may be recessed within the pillars such that the hybrid plugs do not extend through the memory architecture beyond the pillars. The hybrid plugs may include one or more relatively low capacitance, conductive materials, such as a titanium alloy material (e.g., titanium, titanium nitride), a tungsten alloy material (e.g., tungsten, tungsten nitride), or any combination thereof, among other materials.
