    Abstract: Some embodiments include a semiconductor device having a stack structure including a source comprising polysilicon, an etch stop of oxide on the source, a select gate source on the etch stop, a charge storage structure over the select gate source, and a select gate drain over the charge storage structure. The semiconductor device may further include an opening extending vertically into the stack structure to a level adjacent to the source. A channel comprising polysilicon may be formed on a side surface and a bottom surface of the opening. The channel may contact the source at a lower portion of the opening, and may be laterally separated from the charge storage structure by a tunnel oxide. A width of the channel adjacent to the select gate source is greater than a width of the channel adjacent to the select gate drain.

    Abstract: Methods for forming a string of memory cells, apparatuses having a string of memory cells, and systems are disclosed. One such method for forming a string of memory cells forms a source material over a substrate. A capping material may be formed over the source material. A select gate material may be formed over the capping material. A plurality of charge storage structures may be formed over the select gate material in a plurality of alternating levels of control gate and insulator materials. A first opening may be formed through the plurality of alternating levels of control gate and insulator materials, the select gate material, and the capping material. A channel material may be formed along the sidewall of the first opening. The channel material has a thickness that is less than a width of the first opening, such that a second opening is formed by the semiconductor channel material.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a semiconductor device having a stack structure including a plurality of alternating tiers of dielectric material and poly-silicon formed on a substrate. Such a semiconductor device may further include at least one opening having a high aspect ratio and extending into the stack structure to a level adjacent the substrate, a first poly-silicon channel formed in a lower portion of the opening adjacent the substrate, a second poly-silicon channel formed in an upper portion of the opening, and WSiX material disposed between the first poly-silicon channel and the second poly-silicon channel in the opening. The WSiX material is adjacent to the substrate, and can be used as an etch-landing layer and a conductive contact to contact both the first poly-silicon channel and the second poly-silicon channel in the opening. Other embodiments include methods of making semiconductor devices.
