    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 method of forming a memory cell includes forming an outer electrode material elevationally over and directly against a programmable material. The programmable material and the outer electrode material contact one another along an interface. Protective material is formed elevationally over the outer electrode material. Dopant is implanted through the protective material into the outer electrode material and the programmable material and across the interface to enhance adhesion of the outer electrode material and the programmable material relative one another across the interface. Memory cells are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming memory. A series of photoresist features may be formed over a gate stack, and a placeholder may be formed at an end of said series. The placeholder may be spaced from the end of said series by a gap. A layer may be formed over and between the photoresist features, over the placeholder, and within said gap. The layer may be anisotropically etched into a plurality of first vertical structures along edges of the photoresist features, and into a second vertical structure along an edge of the placeholder. A mask may be formed over the second vertical structure. Subsequently, the first vertical structures may be used to pattern string gates while the mask is used to pattern a select gate. Some embodiments include methods of forming conductive runners, and some embodiments may include semiconductor constructions.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for methods to increase cell density using a lateral etch are described. A process to manufacture a memory array may include a lateral wet etch to split a pillar into two stacks of memory cells. In some cases, the manufacturing process may include forming a trench in a vertical stack of layers and forming a memory cell pillar which includes an oxide material, a semiconductor channel material, and an insulating material in the trench. Sidewalls of the pillar may be laterally etched to remove portions of the oxide material and the semiconductor material, which may form two stacks of memory cells, each stack in contact with opposing sidewalls of the trench. In some examples, the manufacturing process may include forming one or more supportive piers within the trench, and the pillar of memory cell material may be formed between pairs of piers.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for a cross-point memory array and related fabrication techniques are described. The fabrication techniques described herein may facilitate concurrently building two or more decks of memory cells disposed in a cross-point architecture. Each deck of memory cells may include a plurality of first access lines (e.g., word lines), a plurality of second access lines (e.g., bit lines), and a memory component at each topological intersection of a first access line and a second access line. The fabrication technique may use a pattern of vias formed at a top layer of a composite stack, which may facilitate building a 3D memory array within the composite stack while using a reduced number of processing steps. The fabrication techniques may also be suitable for forming a socket region where the 3D memory array may be coupled with other components of a memory device.
