    Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor includes depositing a dielectric metal oxide layer of a first phase to a thickness no greater than 75 Angstroms over an inner conductive capacitor electrode material. The first phase dielectric metal oxide layer has a k of at least 15. Conductive RuO2 is deposited over and into physical contact with the dielectric metal oxide layer. Then, the RuO2 and the dielectric metal oxide layer are annealed at a temperature below 500° C. The RuO2 in physical contact with the dielectric metal oxide during the annealing facilitates a change of the dielectric metal oxide layer from the first phase to a second crystalline phase having a higher k than the first phase. The annealed dielectric metal oxide layer is incorporated into a capacitor dielectric region of a capacitor construction. Other implementations are disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor includes forming an elevationally elongated and elevationally inner capacitor electrode that comprises different composition laterally-outermost and laterally-innermost conductive portions that have different respective intrinsic residual mechanical stress. The innermost conductive portion is formed to have greater mechanical stress in the compressive direction than the outermost conductive portion. A capacitor dielectric is formed over the inner capacitor electrode and an elevationally outer capacitor electrode is formed over the capacitor dielectric. A capacitor construction independent of the method formed is disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming a capacitor. An opening is formed through a silicon-containing mass to a base, and sidewalls of the opening are lined with protective material. A first capacitor electrode is formed within the opening and has sidewalls along the protective material. At least some of the silicon-containing mass is removed with an etch. The protective material protects the first capacitor electrode from being removed by the etch. A second capacitor electrode is formed along the sidewalls of the first capacitor electrode, and is spaced from the first capacitor electrode by capacitor dielectric. Some embodiments include multi-material structures having one or more of aluminum nitride, molybdenum nitride, niobium nitride, niobium oxide, silicon dioxide, tantalum nitride and tantalum oxide. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions.
