Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a conductive material, a select device gate material over the conductive material, and vertically-stacked conductive levels over the select device gate material. Vertically-extending monolithic channel material is adjacent the select device gate material and the conductive levels. The monolithic channel material contains a lower segment adjacent the select device gate material and an upper segment adjacent the conductive levels. A first vertically-extending region is between the lower segment of the monolithic channel material and the select device gate material. The first vertically-extending region contains a first material. A second vertically-extending region is between the upper segment of the monolithic channel material and the conductive levels. The second vertically-extending region contains a material which is different in composition from the first material.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a NAND memory array which has a vertical stack of alternating insulative levels and wordline levels. The wordline levels have terminal ends corresponding to control gate regions. Charge-trapping material is along the control gate regions of the wordline levels, and is spaced form the control gate regions by charge-blocking material. The charge-trapping material along vertically adjacent wordline levels is spaced by intervening regions through which charge migration is impeded. Channel material extends vertically along the stack and is spaced from the charge-trapping material by charge-tunneling material. Some embodiments include methods of forming NAND memory arrays.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and resulting structures which provide an opening for epitaxial growth, the opening having an associated projection for reducing the size of the contact area on a substrate at which growth begins. During growth, the epitaxial material grows vertically from the contact area and laterally over the projection. The projection provides a stress relaxation region for the lateral growth to reduce dislocation and stacking faults at the side edges of the grown epitaxial material.
