    Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of fabricating integrated structures. A metal-containing material is formed over a stack of alternating first and second levels. An opening is formed through the metal-containing material and the stack. Repeating vertically-stacked electrical components are formed along the stack at sidewalls of the opening. Some embodiments include a method of forming vertically-stacked memory cells. Metal-containing material is formed over a stack of alternating silicon dioxide levels and conductively-doped silicon levels. A first opening is formed through the metal-containing material and the stack. Cavities are formed to extend into the conductively-doped silicon levels along sidewalls of the first opening. Charge-blocking dielectric and charge-storage structures are formed within the cavities to leave a second opening. Sidewalls of the second opening are lined with gate dielectric and then channel material is formed within the second opening.

    Abstract: Vertical memories and methods of making the same are discussed generally herein. In one embodiment, a vertical memory can include a vertical pillar extending to a source, an etch stop tier over the source, and a stack of alternating dielectric tiers and conductive tiers over the etch stop tier. The etch stop tier can comprise a blocking dielectric adjacent to the pillar. In another embodiment, the etch stop tier can comprise a blocking dielectric adjacent to the pillar, and a plurality of dielectric films horizontally extending from the blocking dielectric into the etch stop tier.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for single-crystal transistors for memory devices are described. In some examples, a cavity may be formed through at least a portion of one or more dielectric materials, which may be deposited above a deck of memory cells. The cavity may include a taper, such as a taper toward a point, or a taper having an included angle that is within a range, or a taper from a cross-sectional area to some fraction of the cross-sectional area, among other examples. A semiconductor material may be deposited in the cavity and above the one or more dielectric materials, and formed in a single crystalline arrangement based on heating and cooling the deposited semiconductor material. One or more portions of a transistor, such as a channel portion of a transistor, may be formed at least in part by doping the single crystalline arrangement of the semiconductor material.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for structures for word line multiplexing in three-dimensional memory arrays are described. A memory die may include circuitry for access line multiplexing in regions adjacent to or between staircase regions. For example, a multiplexing region may include, for each word line of a stack of word lines, a respective first portion of a semiconductor material and a respective second portion of the semiconductor material, and may also include one or more gate material portions operable to modulate a conductivity between respective first and second portions. Each word line may be coupled with the respective first portion of the semiconductor material, such that biasing of the gate material portions may couple the word lines with the respective second portion of the semiconductor material. Such features may support various techniques for multiplexing associated with the stack of word lines, or among multiple stacks of word lines, or both.
