    Abstract: Methods for forming a string of memory cells, apparatuses having a string of memory cells, and systems are disclosed. One such method for forming a string of memory cells forms a source material over a substrate. A capping material may be formed over the source material. A select gate material may be formed over the capping material. A plurality of charge storage structures may be formed over the select gate material in a plurality of alternating levels of control gate and insulator materials. A first opening may be formed through the plurality of alternating levels of control gate and insulator materials, the select gate material, and the capping material. A channel material may be formed along the sidewall of the first opening. The channel material has a thickness that is less than a width of the first opening, such that a second opening is formed by the semiconductor channel material.

    Abstract: A 3-D memory array comprises a plurality of elevationally extending strings of memory cells. An array of select devices is elevationally over and individually coupling with individual of the strings. The select devices individually comprise a channel, gate dielectric proximate the channel, and gate material proximate the gate dielectric. The individual channels are spaced from one another. The gate material comprises a plurality of gate lines running along columns of the spaced channels elevationally over the strings. Dielectric material is laterally between immediately adjacent of the gate lines. The dielectric material and the gate lines have longitudinally non-linear edges at an interface relative one another. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming vertically-stacked memory cells. An opening is formed through a stack of alternating insulative and conductive levels. Cavities are formed to extend into the conductive levels along sidewalls of the opening. At least one of the cavities is formed to be shallower than one or more others of the cavities. Charge-blocking dielectric and charge-storage structures are formed within the cavities. Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a stack of alternating insulative and conductive levels. Cavities extend into the conductive levels. At least one of the cavities is shallower than one or more others of the cavities by at least about 2 nanometers. Charge-blocking dielectric is within the cavities. Charge-storage structures are within the cavities.
