    Abstract: Various embodiments include apparatuses and methods of forming the same. One such apparatus can include a first dielectric material and a second dielectric material, and a conductive material between the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material. A charge storage element, such as a floating gate or charge trap, is between the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material and adjacent to the conductive material. The charge storage element has a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces are substantially separated from the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material, respectively, by a first air gap and a second air gap. Additional apparatuses and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods of forming memory cells. In one embodiment, a first dielectric material and a second dielectric material are formed on a substrate. A conductive material is formed between the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material. An opening is formed through the first dielectric material, the second dielectric material, and the conductive material. The conductive material is recessed laterally from the opening to form a recessed control gate and to expose portions of the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material. Portions of a third dielectric material are formed over the exposed portions of the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material and a charge storage element is formed between the portions of the third dielectric material and adjacent to the recessed control gate. Portions of the third dielectric material are substantially removed. Additional methods, as well as apparatuses, are disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a memory cell string including memory cells located in different levels of the apparatus and a data line coupled to the memory cell string. The memory cell string includes a pillar body associated with the memory cells. At least one of such apparatus can include a module configured to store information in a memory cell among memory cells and/or to determine a value of information stored in a memory cell among memory cells. The module can also be configured to apply a voltage having a positive value to the data line and/or a source to control a potential of the body.

    Abstract: Memories might include a controller configured to cause the memory to apply a first voltage level indicative of a data state of a memory cell of an array of memory cells to a control gate of a transistor, retain the first voltage level on the control gate of the transistor, connect a first source/drain of the transistor to a data line corresponding to the memory cell while applying a second voltage level to a second source/drain of the transistor and while retaining the first voltage level on the control gate of the transistor, and apply a programming pulse to a control gate of the memory cell while the data line is connected to the first source/drain of the transistor.
