    Abstract: In certain aspects, a three-dimensional (3D) memory device includes a first semiconductor structure, a second semiconductor structure, and a bonding interface between the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure. The first semiconductor structure includes a peripheral circuit. The second semiconductor structure includes an array of memory cells and a plurality of bit lines coupled to the memory cells and each extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each of the memory cells includes a vertical transistor extending in a first direction, and a storage unit coupled to the vertical transistor. The vertical transistor includes a semiconductor body extending in the first direction, and a gate structure in contact with all sides of the semiconductor body. A respective one of the bit lines and a respective storage unit are coupled to opposite ends of each one of the memory cells in the first direction. The array of memory cells is coupled to the peripheral circuit across the bonding interface.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a memory device with laterally formed memory cells are described. A material stack that includes a conductive layer between multiple dielectric layers may be formed, where the conductive layer and dielectric layers may form a channel in a sidewall of the material stack. The channel may be filled with one or more materials, where a first side of an outermost material of the one or more materials may be exposed. An opening may be formed in the material stack that exposes a second side of at least one material of the one or more materials. The opening may be used to replace a portion of the at least one material with a chalcogenide material where the electrode materials may be formed before replacing the portion of the at least one material with the chalcogenide material.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a memory region and another region adjacent the memory region. Channel-material-pillars are arranged within the memory region, and conductive posts are arranged within said other region. A source structure is coupled to lower regions of the channel-material-pillars. A panel extends across the memory region and said other region, and separates a first memory-block- region from a second memory-block-region. Doped-semiconductor-material is directly adjacent to the panel within the memory region and the other region. Rings laterally surround lower regions of the conductive posts. The rings are between the conductive posts and the doped- semiconductor- material. The rings include laminates of two or more materials, with at least one of said two or more materials being insulative. Some embodiments include methods for forming integrated assemblies.

    Abstract: Integrated circuitry comprising a memory array comprises strings of memory cells comprising laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprising a first vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. Strings of memory cells comprise channel-material strings that extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. The conductive tiers individually comprise a horizontally-elongated conductive line. A second vertical stack is aside the first vertical stack. The second vertical stack comprises an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion comprises vertically alternating first tiers and second insulating tiers that are of different composition relative one another. The lower portion comprises an upper polysilicon-comprising layer, a lower polysilicon- comprising layer, an intervening-material layer vertically between the upper and lower polysilicon-comprising layers. An upper intermediate layer is vertically between the upper polysilicon-comprising layer and the intervening-material layer. A lower intermediate layer is vertically between the lower polysilicon-comprising layer and the intervening-material layer. The lower intermediate layer and the upper intermediate layer comprise at least one of (a), (b), and (c), where (a): a hafnium oxide; (b): a bilayer comprising silicon nitride and comprising silicon dioxide positioned vertically relative one another, the silicon nitride in the bilayer being closer to the intervening-material layer than is the silicon dioxide in the bilayer; and (c): SiOxNy, where each of “x” and “y” is from 1 atomic percent to 90 atomic percent of the total of the Si, the O, and the N in the SiOxNy. Methods are disclosed.
