    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a memory array, and having digit lines extending along a first direction through the memory array. Insulative spacers are along sidewalls of the digit lines. The insulative spacers extend continuously along the digit lines through the memory array. Conductive regions are laterally spaced from the digit lines by intervening regions. The conductive regions are configured as segments spaced apart from one another along the first direction. The intervening regions include regions of the insulative spacers and include void regions adjacent the regions of the insulative spacers. The void regions are configured as void-region-segments which are spaced apart from one another along the first direction by insulative structures. Storage-elements are associated with the conductive regions. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to semiconductor structure formation are described. An example method may include patterning a working surface of a semiconductor wafer. The method may further include performing a vapor etch on a first dielectric material at the working surface to recess the first dielectric material to a first intended depth of an opening relative to the working surface and to expose a second dielectric material on a sidewall of the opening. The method may further include performing a wet etch on the second dielectric material to recess the second dielectric material to the intended depth.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a memory cell having a first transistor supported by a semiconductor base, and having second and third transistors above the first transistor and vertically stacked one atop the other. Some embodiments include a memory cell having first, second and third transistors. The third transistor is above the second transistor, and the second and third transistors are above the first transistor. The first transistor has first and second source/drain regions, the second transistor has third and fourth source/drain regions, and the third transistor has fifth and sixth source/drain regions. A read bitline is coupled with the sixth source/drain region. A write bitline is coupled with the first source/drain region. A write wordline includes a gate of the first transistor. A read wordline includes a gate of the third transistor. A capacitor is coupled with the second source/drain region and with a gate of the second transistor.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a stack of alternating dielectric levels and conductive levels, vertically-stacked memory cells within the conductive levels, an insulative material over the stack and a select gate material over the insulative material. An opening extends through the select gate material, through the insulative material, and through the stack of alternating dielectric and conductive levels. A first region of the opening within the insulative material is wider along a cross-section than a second region of the opening within the select gate material, and is wider along the cross-section than a third region of the opening within the stack of alternating dielectric levels and conductive levels. Channel material is within the opening and adjacent the insulative material, the select gate material and the memory cells. Some embodiments include methods of forming vertically-stacked memory cells.
