    Abstract: Methods of forming semiconductor devices, memory cells, and arrays of memory cells include forming a liner on a conductive material and exposing the liner to a radical oxidation process to densify the liner. The densified liner may protect the conductive material from substantial degradation or damage during a subsequent patterning process. A semiconductor device structure, according to embodiments of the disclosure, includes features extending from a substrate and spaced by a trench exposing a portion of a substrate. A liner is disposed on sidewalls of a region of at least one conductive material in each feature. A semiconductor device, according to embodiments of the disclosure, includes memory cells, each comprising a control gate region and a capping region with substantially aligning sidewalls and a charge structure under the control region.

    Abstract: Memory arrays and their formation are disclosed. The formation of one such memory array includes forming first and second spacers respectively adjacent to sidewalls of first and second conductors so that the first and second spacers extend into an opening between the first and second conductors and terminate above bottoms of the first and second conductors, and closing the opening with a material that extends between the first and second spacers so that an air gap is formed in the closed opening.

    Abstract: A microelectronic device comprises a stack structure comprising blocks separated from one another by dielectric slot structures. At least one of the blocks comprises two crest regions, a stadium structure interposed between the two crest regions in a first horizontal direction, and two bridge regions neighboring opposing sides of the stadium structure in a second horizontal direction. A filled trench vertically overlies and is within horizontal boundaries of the stadium structure of the at least one of the blocks. The filled trench comprises a dielectric liner material on the opposing staircase structures of the stadium structure and on inner sidewalls of the two bridge regions, and dielectric structures on and having a different material composition than the dielectric liner material. The dielectric structures are substantially confined within horizontal areas of the steps of the stadium structure. Memory devices, electronic systems, and methods of forming microelectronic devices are also described.
