    Abstract: A transistor comprises a lower contact structure, a channel structure, a dielectric fill structure, and an upper contact structure. The lower contact structure comprises a first oxide semiconductive material. The channel structure contacts the lower contact structure and comprises a second oxide semiconductive material having a smaller atomic concentration of one or more metals than the first oxide semiconductive material. The dielectric fill structure contacts an inner side surface of the channel structure and has a recessed upper surface relative to the channel structure. The upper contact structure comprises a third oxide semiconductive material having a greater atomic concentration of the one or more metals than the channel structure. The upper contact structure comprises a first portion contacting the upper surface of the dielectric fill structure and the inner side surface of the channel structure, and a second portion contacting the upper surface of the channel structure.

    Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a stack structure comprising a vertically alternating sequence of insulative structures and conductive structures arranged in tiers. At least one pillar, comprising a channel material, extends through the stack structure. A source region, below the stack structure, comprises a doped material. A vertical extension of the doped material protrudes upward to an interface with the channel material at elevation within the stack structure (e.g., an elevation proximate or laterally overlapping in elevation at least one source-side GIDL region). The microelectronic device structure may be formed by a method that includes forming a lateral opening through cell materials of the pillar, recessing the channel material to form a vertical recess, and forming the doped material in the vertical recess. Additional microelectronic devices are also disclosed, as are related methods and electronic systems.
