Abstract: A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a microelectronic device structure comprising a base structure, a doped semiconductive material overlying the base structure, a stack structure overlying the doped semiconductive material, cell pillar structures vertically extending through the stack structure and the doped semiconductive material and into the base structure, and digit line structures vertically overlying the stack structure. An additional microelectronic device structure comprising control logic devices is formed. The microelectronic device structure is attached to the additional microelectronic device structure to form a microelectronic device structure assembly. The base structure and portions of the cell pillar structures vertically extending into the base structure are removed to expose the doped semiconductive material. The doped semiconductive material is then patterned to form at least one source structure over the stack structure and coupled to the cell pillar structures. Microelectronic devices and electronic systems are also described.

Abstract: Devices and methods include transmitting loopback signals for monitoring operation of a memory device. In some embodiments, a memory device may receive a system clock signal from a host device and may generate an internal clock signal based at least in part on the system clock signal. In some embodiments, the memory device may generate a loopback signal based at least in part on the internal clock signal and may transmit the loopback signal via a loopback datapath associated with the memory device. A host device may compare the internal clock signal and the system clock signal to determine a fidelity of the internal clock signal. Termination values of the memory device may be adjusted based on the determined fidelity of the internal clock signal.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to spike current suppression in a memory array. In one approach, a memory device includes a memory array having a cross-point memory architecture. The memory array has access lines (e.g., word lines and/or bit lines) configured to access memory cells of the memory array. Each access line is split into left and right portions. Each portion is electrically connected to a single via, which a driver uses to generate a voltage on the access line. To reduce electrical discharge associated with current spikes, a first resistor is located between the left portion and the via, and a second resistor is located between the right portion and the via.

Abstract: Methods and devices systems related to a computing device for highlighting a tagged object with augmented reality (AR) are described. An example method can include identifying, using a computing device, an object tagged with a sensor within a plurality of objects. The example method can include tracking movement of the object based on communication between the sensor and the computing device and highlighting the object via AR based on the tracking and responsive to a request to locate the object.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods can be related to implementing bypass paths in an ANN. The bypass path can be used to bypass a portion of the ANN such that the ANN generates an output with a particular level of confidence while utilizing less resources than if the portion of the ANN had not been bypassed.

Abstract: A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming a stack comprising vertically-alternating first tiers and second tiers. Horizontally-elongated trenches are formed into the stack to form laterally-spaced memory-block regions. The memory-block regions comprise part of a memory-plane region. A pair of elevationally-extending walls are formed that are laterally-spaced relative one another and that are individually horizontally-longitudinally-elongated. The pair of walls are one of (a) or (b), where: (a): in the memory-plane region laterally-between immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory-block regions; and (b): in a region that is edge-of-plane relative to the memory-plane region. Through the horizontally-elongated trenches and after forming the pair of walls, sacrificial material that is in the first tiers is isotropically etching away and replaced with conducting material of individual conducting lines. Other embodiments, including structure independent of method, are disclosed.

Abstract: Processing logic in a memory device receives a request to execute a programming operation on a set of memory cells of the memory device. A first set of programming pulses corresponding to a first step voltage level are caused to be applied to program the set of memory cells. The processing logic determines that a programming voltage level associated with a programming pulse of the first set of one or more programming pulses satisfies a condition. The first set voltage is adjusted to a second step voltage level in response to the condition being satisfied.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a per-DRAM addressability (PDA) synchronizer circuit. The PDA synchronizer circuit receives a write command signal which may be synchronous to a DQS clock as part of a first PDA mode or asynchronous as part of a second PDA mode. The PDA synchronizer circuit includes a delay path which provides a first PDA signal responsive to the write command signal and a synchronizer which provides a second PDA signal responsive to the write command signal. The PDA synchronizer circuit provides a synchronized write command signal responsive to whichever of the first PDA signal or the second PDA signal was provided first. When a PDA mode is disabled, the write command signal may be passed as the synchronized write command signal.
