    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a memory array region which includes channel material pillars extending through a stack of alternating conductive and insulative levels. A second region is adjacent the memory array region. A conductive expanse is within the memory array region and electrically coupled with the channel material of the channel material pillars. A panel extends across the memory array region and the second region. The panel separates one memory block region from another. The panel has a first portion over the conductive expanse, and has a second portion adjacent the first portion. The panel has a bottom surface. A first segment of the bottom surface is adjacent an upper surface of the conductive expanse. A segment of the bottom surface within the second portion is elevationally offset relative to the first segment. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

    Abstract: A microelectronic device comprises a stack structure, at least one staircase structure, contact structures, and support structures. The stack structure comprises vertically alternating conductive structures and insulating structures arranged in tiers, each of the tiers individually comprising one of the conductive structures and one of the insulating structures. The at least one staircase structure is within the stack structure and has steps comprising edges of at least some of the tiers. The contact structures are on the steps of the at least one staircase structure. The support structures horizontally alternate with the contact structures in a first horizontal direction and vertically extend through the stack structure.

    Abstract: A method of forming a microelectronic device includes forming a microelectronic device structure. The microelectronic device structure includes a stack structure comprising insulative structures and electrically conductive structures vertically alternating with the insulative structures, pillar structures extending vertically through the stack structure, an etch stop material vertically overlaying the stack structure, and a first dielectric material vertically overlying the etch stop material. The method further includes removing portions of the first dielectric material, the etch stop material, and an upper region of the stack structure to form a trench interposed between horizontally neighboring groups of the pillar structures, forming a liner material within the trench, and substantially filling a remaining portion of the trench with a second dielectric material to form a dielectric barrier structure.

    Abstract: A microelectronic device comprises a stack structure comprising a vertically alternating sequence of conductive material and insulative material arranged in tiers. The stack structure has blocks separated from one another by first dielectric slot structures. Each of the blocks comprises two crest regions, a stadium structure interposed between the two crest regions in a first horizontal direction and comprising opposing staircase structures each having steps comprising edges of the tiers of the stack structure, and two bridge regions neighboring opposing sides of the stadium structure in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction and having upper surfaces substantially coplanar with upper surfaces of the two crest regions. At least one second dielectric slot structure is within horizontal boundaries of the stadium structure in the first horizontal direction and partially vertically extends through and segmenting each of the two bridge regions. Memory devices, electronic systems, and methods of forming microelectronic devices are also described.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an assembly having conductive structures distributed along a level within a memory array region and another region proximate the memory array region. The conductive structures include a first stack over a metal-containing region. A semiconductor material is within the first stack. A second stack is over the conductive structures, and includes alternating conductive tiers and insulative tiers. Cell-material-pillars are within the memory array region. The cell-material-pillars include channel material. The semiconductor material directly contacts the channel material. Conductive post structures are within the other region. Some of the conductive post structures are dummy structures and have bottom surfaces which are entirely along an insulative oxide material. Others of the conductive post structures are live posts electrically coupled with CMOS circuitry. Some embodiments include methods of forming assemblies.
