    Abstract: Some embodiments include a memory array which has a first series of access/sense lines extending along a first direction, and a second series of access/sense lines over the first series of access/sense lines and extending along a second direction which crosses the first direction. Memory cells are vertically between the first and second series of access/sense lines. Each memory cell is uniquely addressed by a combination of an access/sense line from the first series and an access/sense line from the second series. Resistance-increasing material is adjacent to and coextensive with the access/sense lines of one of the first and second series, and is between the adjacent access/sense lines and programmable material of the memory cells. Some embodiments include methods of forming memory arrays.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for chemical mechanical planarization topography control via implants are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes increasing the content of at least one of silicon or germanium in at least select regions of a dielectric material thereby reducing the material removal rate for a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process at the select regions, and removing material from the dielectric material using the CMP process. In another embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes increasing content of at least one of boron, phosphorus, or hydrogen in at least select regions of a dielectric material thereby increasing the material removal rate of a CMP process at the select regions, and removing material from the dielectric material using the CMP process.

    Abstract: An array of cross point memory cells comprises spaced elevationally inner first lines, spaced elevationally outer second lines which cross the first lines, and a multi-resistive state region elevationally between the first and second lines where such cross. Individual of the multi-resistive state regions comprise elevationally outer multi-resistive state material and elevationally inner multi-resistive state material that are electrically coupled to one another. The inner multi-resistive state material has opposing edges in a vertical cross-section. The outer multi-resistive state material has opposing edges in the vertical cross-section that are laterally offset relative to the opposing edges of the inner multi-resistive state material in the vertical cross-section. Methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A testing probe apparatus for testing die. The testing probe may include a probe interface and a carrier for supporting at least one die comprising 3DI structures. The probe interface may be positionable on a first side of the at least one die and include a voltage source and at least one first inductor operably coupled to the voltage source. A voltage sensor and at least one second inductor coupled to the voltage sensor may be disposed on a second opposing side of the at least one die. The voltage source of the probe interface may be configured to inductively cause a voltage within the 3DI structures of the at least one die via the at least one first inductor. The voltage sensor may be configured to sense a voltage within the at least one 3DI structure via the at least one second inductor. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.
