A stack of semiconductor dies includes a first semiconductor die, one or more second semiconductor dies, and first and second contacts. A gap fill is disposed over a distal end of the one or more second semiconductor dies opposite the first semiconductor die. A first rail (e.g., supply voltage) is disposed at a distal end of the gap fill opposite the first semiconductor die, and a first via extends from the first rail to the first contact. A layer of dielectric material is disposed at least partially over the first rail. A second rail (e.g., ground reference) is disposed at the layer of dielectric material, and a second via extends from the second rail to the second contact.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to a semiconductor apparatus having one or more dielectric structures used to detect bonding voids during manufacturing. In some embodiments, a semiconductor wafer includes the dielectric structures. After the wafer is bonded to another structure, capacitances may be measured across the dielectric structures and the other wafer. The measured capacitance can be used to detect or characterize any bonding voids that may have been introduced during the wafer bonding process.

Abstract: A method used in forming a vertical string of memory cells and a conductive via comprises forming a first lower opening and a second lower opening into a lower material. A first material is formed within the first and second lower openings. An upper material is formed above the lower material and above the first material in the first and second lower openings. A first upper opening is formed through the upper material to the first material in the first lower opening. At least a majority of the first material is removed from the first lower opening through the first upper opening and channel material is formed within the first lower and first upper openings for the vertical string of memory cells being formed. After forming the channel material, a second upper opening is formed through the upper material to the first material in the second lower opening. Conductive material of the conductive via is formed within the second upper opening. Structure embodiments independent of method of formation are disclosed.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory die bonded to a logic die. A logic die that is bonded to a memory die via a wafer-on-wafer bonding process can receive signals indicative of input data from a global data bus of the memory die and through a bond of the logic die and memory die. The logic die can also receive signals indicative of kernel data from local input/output (LIO) lines of the memory die and through the bond. The logic die can perform a plurality of operations at a plurality of vector-vector (VV) units utilizing the signals indicative of input data and the signals indicative of kernel data. The inputs and the outputs to the VV units can be configured based on a mode of the logic die.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly with a semiconductor channel material having a boundary region where a more-heavily-doped region interfaces with a less-heavily-doped region. The more-heavily-doped region and the less-heavily-doped region have the same majority carriers. The integrated assembly includes a gating structure adjacent the semiconductor channel material and having a gating region and an interconnecting region of a common and continuous material. The gating region has a length extending along a segment of the more-heavily-doped region, a segment of the less-heavily-doped region, and the boundary region. The interconnecting region extends laterally outward from the gating region on a side opposite the semiconductor channel region, and is narrower than the length of the gating region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.
