    Abstract: Some embodiments include a memory array having a first memory cell adjacent to a second memory cell along a lateral direction. The second memory cell is vertically offset relative to the first memory cell. Some embodiments include a memory array having a series of data/sense lines extending along a first direction, a series of access lines extending along a second direction, and memory cells vertically between the access lines and data/sense lines. The memory cells are arranged in a grid having columns along the first direction and rows along the second direction. Memory cells in a common column and/or row as one another are arranged in two alternating sets, with a first set having memory cells at a first height and a second set having memory cells at a second height vertically offset relative to the first height. Some embodiments include methods of forming memory arrays.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming memory cells. Heater structures are formed over an array of electrical nodes, and phase change material is formed across the heater structures. The phase change material is patterned into a plurality of confined structures, with the confined structures being in one-to-one correspondence with the heater structures and being spaced from one another by one or more insulative materials that entirely laterally surround each of the confined structures. Some embodiments include memory arrays having heater structures over an array of electrical nodes. Confined phase change material structures are over the heater structures and in one-to-one correspondence with the heater structures. The confined phase change material structures are spaced from one another by one or more insulative materials that entirely laterally surround each of the confined phase change material structures.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include memory arrays having a plurality of memory cells vertically between bitlines and wordlines. The memory cells contain phase change material. Heat shields are laterally between immediately adjacent memory cells along a bitline direction. The heat shields contain electrically conductive material and are electrically connected with the bitlines. Some embodiments include memory arrays having a plurality of memory cells arranged in a first grid. The first grid has columns along a first direction and has rows along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction. First heat shields are between adjacent memory cells along the first direction and are arranged in a second grid offset from the first grid along the first direction. Second heat shields are between adjacent memory cells along the second direction, and are arranged lines in lines extending along the first direction. Some embodiments include methods for forming memory arrays.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include memory constructions having a plurality of bands between top and bottom electrically conductive materials. The bands include chalcogenide bands alternating with non-chalcogenide bands. In some embodiments, there may be least two of the chalcogenide bands and at least one of the non-chalcogenide bands. In some embodiments, the memory cells may be between a pair of electrodes; with one of the electrodes being configured as a lance, angled plate, container or beam. In some embodiments, the memory cells may be electrically coupled with select devices, such as, for example, diodes, field effect transistors or bipolar junction transistors.
