Abstract: Systems and methods for a semiconductor device having a front-end-of-line interconnect structure are provided. The semiconductor device may include a dielectric material having a backside formed on a front side of a semiconductor or silicon substrate material and a front side, and a conducting material on the front side of the dielectric material. The conducting material may have a line portion and an interconnect structure electrically coupled to the line portion and separated from the front side of the substrate material by the dielectric material. The interconnect structure has a backside defining a contact surface. The semiconductor device may further include a semiconductor die proximate the front side of the dielectric material, an insulating material encasing at least a portion of the semiconductor die, and an opening through which the active contact surface at the backside of the interconnect structure is exposed for electrical connection.

Abstract: A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a microelectronic device structure comprising a base structure; a doped semiconductive material overlying the base structure; a stack structure overlying the doped semiconductive material; semiconductive structures extending from within the base structure, through the doped semiconductive structure, and into a lower portion of the stack structure; cell pillar structures horizontally aligned with the semiconductive structures and vertically extending through an upper portion of the stack structure; and digit line structures vertically overlying the stack structure. An additional microelectronic device structure comprising control logic devices is formed. The microelectronic device structure is attached to the additional microelectronic device structure to form an assembly. The base structure and portions of the semiconductive structures are removed. The doped semiconductive material is then patterned to form at least one source structure coupled to the cell pillar structures. Devices and systems are also described.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly with a semiconductor channel material having a boundary region where a more-heavily-doped region interfaces with a less-heavily-doped region. The more-heavily-doped region and the less-heavily-doped region are majority doped with a same dopant type. The integrated assembly includes a gating structure adjacent the semiconductor channel material and having a gating region and an interconnecting region of a common and continuous material. The gating region has a length extending across a segment of the more-heavily-doped region, a segment of the less-heavily-doped region, and the boundary region. The interconnecting region extends outwardly from the gating region on a side opposite the semiconductor channel region, and is narrower than the length of the gating region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

Abstract: An array of elevationally-extending strings of memory cells comprises a vertical stack of alternating insulative tiers and wordline tiers. The wordline tiers have terminal ends corresponding to control-gate regions of individual memory cells. The control-gate regions individually comprise part of a wordline in individual of the wordline tiers. A charge-blocking region of the individual memory cells extends elevationally along the individual control-gate regions. Charge-storage material of the individual memory cells extends elevationally along individual of the charge-blocking regions. Channel material extends elevationally along the vertical stack. Insulative charge-passage material is laterally between the channel material and the charge-storage material. Elevationally-extending walls laterally separate immediately-laterally-adjacent of the wordlines. The walls comprise laterally-outer insulative material and silicon-containing material spanning laterally between the laterally-outer insulative material. The silicon-containing material comprises at least 30 atomic percent of at least one of elemental-form silicon or a silicon-containing alloy. Other aspects, including method, are also disclosed.

The more-heavily-doped region and the less-heavily-doped region have the same majority carriers. The integrated assembly includes a gating structure adjacent the semiconductor channel material and having a gating region and an interconnecting region of a common and continuous material. The gating region has a length extending along a segment of the more-heavily-doped region, a segment of the less-heavily-doped region, and the boundary region. The interconnecting region extends laterally outward from the gating region on a side opposite the semiconductor channel region, and is narrower than the length of the gating region.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a conductive material, a select device gate material over the conductive material, and vertically-stacked conductive levels over the select device gate material. Vertically-extending monolithic channel material is adjacent the select device gate material and the conductive levels. The monolithic channel material contains a lower segment adjacent the select device gate material and an upper segment adjacent the conductive levels. A first vertically-extending region is between the lower segment of the monolithic channel material and the select device gate material. The first vertically-extending region contains a first material. A second vertically-extending region is between the upper segment of the monolithic channel material and the conductive levels. The second vertically-extending region contains a material which is different in composition from the first material.

Abstract: Electrical contacts may be formed by forming dielectric liners along sidewalls of a dielectric structure, forming sacrificial liners over and transverse to the dielectric liners along sidewalls of a sacrificial structure, selectively removing portions of the dielectric liners at intersections of the dielectric liners and sacrificial liners to form pores, and at least partially filling the pores with a conductive material. Nano-scale pores may be formed by similar methods. Bottom electrodes may be formed and electrical contacts may be structurally and electrically coupled to the bottom electrodes to form memory devices. Nano-scale electrical contacts may have a rectangular cross-section of a first width and a second width, each width less than about 20 nm. Memory devices may include bottom electrodes, electrical contacts having a cross-sectional area less than about 150 nm2 over and electrically coupled to the bottom electrodes, and a cell material over the electrical contacts.
