    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device receives a request to read data from a memory array of a memory device, the request comprising an indication of a segment of the memory array where the data is stored, and determines whether a write temperature associated with the data is stored in a flag byte corresponding to the segment of the memory array. Responsive to determining that the write temperature associated with the data is stored in the flag byte, the control logic determines a cross-temperature for the data based on the write temperature and a read temperature at a time when the request to read the data is received, determines a program/erase cycle count associated with the segment of the memory array, and determines, based on the cross-temperature and the program/erase cycle count, whether to perform a corrective action to calibrate a read voltage level to be applied to the memory array to read the data from the segment.

    Abstract: A transistor comprises a lower contact structure, a channel structure, a dielectric fill structure, and an upper contact structure. The lower contact structure comprises a first oxide semiconductive material. The channel structure contacts the lower contact structure and comprises a second oxide semiconductive material having a smaller atomic concentration of one or more metals than the first oxide semiconductive material. The dielectric fill structure contacts an inner side surface of the channel structure and has a recessed upper surface relative to the channel structure. The upper contact structure comprises a third oxide semiconductive material having a greater atomic concentration of the one or more metals than the channel structure. The upper contact structure comprises a first portion contacting the upper surface of the dielectric fill structure and the inner side surface of the channel structure, and a second portion contacting the upper surface of the channel structure.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods of operating the apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes a memory cell string having first, second, third, fourth, and fifth memory cells; access lines including first, second, third, fourth, and fifth access lines coupled to the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth memory cells, respectively, and a module. The first memory cell is between the second and third memory cells. The second memory cell is between the first and fourth memory cells. The third memory cell is between the first and fifth memory cells. The module is to couple the first access line to a ground node at a first time of a memory operation, couple the second and third access lines to the ground node at a second time of the operation after the first time, and couple the fourth and fifth access lines to the ground node at a third time of the operation after the second time.
