    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for forming memory structures are described. Forming a memory structure may include etching a stack of material including a conductive line, a first electrode and a sacrificial material to divide the stack of material into multiple sections. The process may further include depositing an oxide material in each of the first quantity of channels to form multiple oxide materials. The sacrificial material may be etched to form a second channel between two oxide materials of the multiple oxide materials. Memory material may be deposited over the two oxide materials and the second channel, which may create a void in the second channel between the memory material and the first electrode. The memory material may be heated to fill the void in the second channel.

    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing semiconductor devices, and associated systems and devices, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an opening in an electrically insulative material at least partially over a first electrically conductive feature and a second electrically conductive feature. The method can further include forming a ring of electrically conductive material around a sidewall of the insulative material defining the opening, wherein the ring of electrically conductive material includes (a) a first via portion over the first electrically conductive feature, (b) a second via portion over the second electrically conductive feature, and (c) connecting portions extending between the first and second via portions. Finally, the method can include removing the connecting portions of the ring of electrically conductive material to electrically isolate the first via portion from the second via portion.
