Abstract: Trenches are formed into semiconductive material. Masking material is formed laterally over at least elevationally inner sidewall portions of the trenches. Conductivity modifying impurity is implanted through bases of the trenches into semiconductive material there-below. Such impurity is diffused into the masking material received laterally over the elevationally inner sidewall portions of the trenches and into semiconductive material received between the trenches below a mid-channel portion. An elevationally inner source/drain is formed in the semiconductive material below the mid-channel portion. The inner source/drain portion includes said semiconductive material between the trenches which has the impurity therein. A conductive line is formed laterally over and electrically coupled to at least one of opposing sides of the inner source/drain. A gate is formed elevationally outward of and spaced from the conductive line and laterally adjacent the mid-channel portion. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A recessed access device comprises a conductive gate in a trench in semiconductor material. A gate insulator extends along sidewalls and around a bottom of the conductive gate between the conductive gate and the semiconductor material. A pair of source/drain regions are in upper portions of the semiconductor material on opposing lateral sides of the trench. A channel region in the semiconductor material below the pair of source/drain regions extends along sidewalls and around a bottom of the trench. The gate insulator comprises a low-k material and a high-k material. The low-k material is characterized by its dielectric constant k being no greater than 4.0. The high-k material is both (a) and (b), where: (a): characterized by its dielectric constant k being greater than 4.0; and (b): comprising SixMyO, where “M” is one or more of Al, metal(s) from Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, Group 5, and the lanthanide series of the periodic table; “x” is 0.999 to 0.6; and “y” is 0.001 to 0.4; the SixMyO being above the low-k material.

Abstract: An array of vertical transistors comprises spaced pillars of individual vertical transistors that individually comprise an upper source/drain region, a lower source/drain region, and a channel region vertically there-between. The upper source/drain region comprises a conductor oxide material in individual of the pillars. The channel region comprises an oxide semiconductor material in the individual pillars. The lower source/drain region comprises a first conductive oxide material in the individual pillars atop and directly against a second conductive oxide material in the individual pillars. Horizontally-elongated and spaced conductor lines individually interconnect a respective multiple of the vertical transistors in a column direction. The conductor lines individually comprise the second conductive oxide material atop and directly against metal material. The first conductive oxide material, the second conductive oxide material, and the metal material comprise different compositions relative one another. The second conductive oxide material of the conductor lines is below and directly against the second conductive oxide material of the lower source/drain region of the individual pillars of the respective multiple vertical transistors. Horizontally-elongated and spaced conductive gate lines are individually operatively aside the oxide semiconductor material of the channel region of the individual pillars and individually interconnect a respective plurality of the vertical transistors in a row direction. A conductive structure is laterally-between and spaced from immediately-adjacent of the spaced conductor lines in the row direction.
