Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. A structure is provided to have conductive lines, and to have rails over the conductive lines and extending in a direction which crosses the conductive lines. Each of the rails includes pillars of semiconductor material. The rails have sidewall surfaces along spaces between the rails. The pillars have upper segments, middle segments and lower segments. First-material liners are formed along the sidewall surfaces of the rails. A second material is formed over the liners. First sections of the liners are removed to form gaps between the second material and the sidewall surfaces of the rails. Second sections of the liners remain under the gaps. Conductive material is formed within the gaps. The conductive material is configured as conductive lines which are along the middle segments of the pillars.

Abstract: A memory array comprises vertically-alternating tiers of insulative material and memory cells. The memory cells individually include a transistor comprising first and second source/drain regions having a channel region there-between and a gate operatively proximate the channel region. At least a portion of the channel region is horizontally-oriented for horizontal current flow in the portion between the first and second source/drain regions. The memory cells individually include a capacitor comprising first and second electrodes having a capacitor insulator there-between. The first electrode is electrically coupled to the first source/drain region. The second capacitor electrodes of multiple of the capacitors in the array are electrically coupled with one another. A sense-line structure extends elevationally through the vertically-alternating tiers. Individual of the second source/drain regions of individual of the transistors that are in different memory cell tiers are electrically coupled to the elevationally-extending sense-line structure. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of forming elevationally-elongated conductive structures of integrated circuitry comprises providing a substrate comprising a plurality of spaced elevationally-extending conductive vias individually having an upper horizontal perimeter. The conductive vias individually have an upper horizontal perimeter. Masking material is formed directly above the conductive vias. An opening is formed in the masking material directly above individual of the upper horizontal perimeters of individual of the conductive vias. Individual of the masking-material openings comprise a lower horizontal perimeter that overlaps the upper horizontal perimeter of the conductive via directly there-below. Individual of the masking-material openings comprise a lower horizontal perimeter that overlaps the upper horizontal perimeter of the conductive via directly there-below. Conductive material is formed in the individual masking-material openings against sidewalls of the individual masking-material openings and directly against the conductive via directly there-below. An upper horizontal perimeter of the conductive material in the individual masking-material openings extends outwardly beyond the upper horizontal perimeter of the conductive via directly there-below.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having active areas and a trench isolation region between the active areas. The active areas extend along a first direction. Buried word lines extend along a second direction in the semiconductor substrate. Two of the buried word lines intersect with each of the active areas, separating each of the active areas into a digit line contact area and two cell contact areas. The second direction is not perpendicular to the first direction. A digit line contact is disposed on the digit line contact area. A storage node contact is disposed on each of the two cell contact areas. The digit line contact and the storage node contact are coplanar. At least one digit line extends along a third direction over a main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The at least one digit line is in direct contact with the digit line contact.
