    Abstract: Phase change memory apparatuses include memory cells including phase change material, bit lines electrically coupled to aligned groups of at least some of the memory cells, and heating elements electrically coupled to the phase change material of the memory cells. The heating elements include vertical portions extending in a bit line direction. Additional phase change memory apparatuses include dummy columns positioned between the memory columns and base contact columns. The dummy columns include phase change memory cells and lack heating elements coupled to the phase change memory cells thereof. Additional phase change memory apparatuses include heating elements operably coupled to phase change memory cells. An interfacial area between the heating elements and the phase change memory cells has a length that is independent of a bit line width. Methods relate to forming such phase change memory apparatuses.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an assembly having a stack of alternating dielectric levels and conductive levels. Channel material pillars extend through the stack. Some of the channel material pillars are associated with a first sub-block, and others of the channel material pillars are associated with a second sub-block. Memory cells are along the channel material pillars. An insulative level is over the stack. A select gate configuration is over the insulative level. The select gate configuration includes a first conductive gate structure associated with the first sub-block, and includes a second conductive gate structure associated with the second sub-block. The first and second conductive gate structures are laterally spaced from one another by an intervening insulative region. The first and second conductive gate structures have vertically-spaced conductive regions, and have vertically-extending conductive structures which electrically couple the vertically-spaced conductive regions to one another. Some embodiments include methods of forming assemblies.

    Abstract: Electronic apparatus and methods of forming the electronic apparatus may include one or more charge trap structures for use in a variety of electronic systems and devices, where each charge trap structure includes a dielectric barrier between a gate and a blocking dielectric on a charge trap region of the charge trap structure. In various embodiments, a void is located between the charge trap region and a region on which the charge trap structure is disposed. In various embodiments, a tunnel region separating a charge trap region from a semiconductor pillar of a charge trap structure, can be arranged such that the tunnel region and the semiconductor pillar are boundaries of a void. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
