    Abstract: Microelectronic devices include a tiered stack having vertically alternating insulative and conductive structures. A first series of stadiums is defined in the tiered stack within a first block of a dual-block structure. A second series of stadiums is defined in the tiered stack within a second block of the dual-block structure. The first and second series of stadiums are substantially symmetrically structured about a trench at a center of the dual-block structure. The trench extends a width of the first and second series of stadiums. The stadiums of the first and second series of stadiums have opposing staircase structures comprising steps at ends of the conductive structures of the tiered stack. Conductive source/drain contact structures are in the stack and extend substantially vertically from a source/drain region at a floor of the trench. Additional microelectronic devices are also disclosed, as are methods of fabrication and electronic systems.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional memory device includes an alternating stack of insulating layers and electrically conductive layers, where the electrically conductive layers include word-line-level electrically conductive layers and drain-select-level electrically conductive layers located above the word-line-level electrically conductive layers, memory opening fill structures vertically extending through the alternating stack, and drain-select-level contact via structures. A first one of the drain-select level contact structures directly contacts at least a first two of the drain-select-level electrically conductive layers that are vertically spaced apart from each other. A second one of the drain-select level contact structures directly contacts at least a second two of the drain-select-level electrically conductive layers that are vertically spaced apart from each other and which are located below the at least the first two of the drain-select-level electrically conductive layers.
