    Abstract: Some embodiments include an apparatus having horizontally-spaced bottom electrodes supported by a supporting structure. Leaker device material is directly against the bottom electrodes. Insulative material is over the bottom electrodes, and upper electrodes are over the insulative material. Plate material extends across the upper electrodes and couples the upper electrodes to one another. The plate material is directly against the leaker device material. The leaker device material electrically couples the bottom electrodes to the plate material, and may be configured to discharge at least a portion of excess charge from the bottom electrodes to the plate material. Some embodiments include methods of forming apparatuses which include capacitors having bottom electrodes and top electrodes, with the top electrodes being electrically coupled to one another through a conductive plate. Leaker devices are formed to electrically couple the bottom electrodes to the conductive plate.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a hybrid memory device are described. The hybrid memory device may include volatile and non-volatile memory cells on a single substrate, or die. The non-volatile memory cells may have ferroelectric capacitors and the volatile memory cells may have paraelectric or linear dielectric capacitors for their respective logic storage components. In some examples, the volatile memory cells may be used as a cache for the non-volatile memory cells. Or the non-volatile memory cells may be used as a back-up for the volatile memory cells. By placing both types of cells on a single die, rather than separate dies, various performance metrics may be improved, including those related to power consumption and operation speed.

    Abstract: A method of forming an array of capacitors comprises forming a plurality of horizontally- spaced groups that individually comprise a plurality of horizontally -spaced lower capacitor electrodes having a capacitor insulator thereover. Adjacent of the groups are horizontally spaced farther apart than are adjacent of the lower capacitor electrodes within the groups. A void space is between the adjacent groups. An upper capacitor electrode material is formed in the void space and in the groups over the capacitor insulator and the lower capacitor electrodes. The upper capacitor electrode material in the void space connects the upper capacitor electrode material that is in the adjacent groups relative to one another. The upper capacitor electrode material less-than-fills the void space. At least a portion of the upper capacitor electrode material is removed from the void space to disconnect the upper capacitor electrode material in the adjacent groups from being connected relative to one another. A horizontally -elongated conductive line is formed atop and is directly electrically coupled to the upper capacitor electrode material in individual of the groups. Other methods, including structure independent of method of manufacture, are disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of forming a device comprises forming dielectric structures over other dielectric structures overlying conductive contact structures, the dielectric structures separated from one another by trenches and laterally extending orthogonal to the other dielectric structures and the conductive contact structures. Conductive gate structures are formed on exposed side surfaces of the dielectric structures within the trenches. Dielectric oxide structures are formed on exposed side surfaces of the conductive gate structures within the trenches. Exposed portions of the other dielectric structures are removed to form isolation structures. Semiconductive pillars are formed on exposed side surfaces of the dielectric oxide structures and the isolation structures within the trenches. The semiconductive pillars are in electrical contact with the conductive contact structures. Additional conductive contact structures are formed on upper surfaces of the semiconductive pillars. A device, a memory device, and an electronic system are also described.
