    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to depositing a storage node material are described. An example method includes forming a semiconductor structure including a support structure having a first silicate material over a bottom nitride material, a first nitride material over the first silicate material, a second silicate material over the first nitride material, and a second nitride material over the second silicate material. The method further includes removing portions of the second nitride material. The method further includes depositing a third silicate material over the second nitride material and a portion of the second silicate material. The method further includes forming an opening through the semiconductor structure. The method further includes depositing a storage node material within the opening.

    摘要: A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a conductive shielding material over a conductive shielding structure and a first dielectric structure horizontally adjacent the conductive shielding structure. A second dielectric structure is formed on first dielectric structure and horizontally adjacent the conductive shielding material. The conductive shielding material and the second dielectric structure are patterned to form fin structures extending in parallel in a first horizontal direction. Each of the fin structures comprises two dielectric end structures integral with remaining portions of the second dielectric structure, and an additional conductive shielding structure interposed between the two dielectric end structures in the first horizontal direction. Conductive lines are formed to extend in parallel in the first horizontal direction and to horizontally alternate with the fin structures in a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction. Microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.

    摘要: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for damascene digit lines. For instance, a damascene digit line can be formed by forming a plurality of dummy digit lines on a semiconductor substrate that are separated by a first set of vertical trenches, depositing a sacrificial insulating material in the first set of vertical trenches, forming, and depositing an insulating fill material in, a second set of vertical trenches, forming, and depositing a nitride material in, nitride material deposition spaces; removing at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate to form plurality of cell contact deposition spaces, forming cell contacts in the cell contact deposition spaces, removing the dummy digit lines to form a plurality of vertical openings, removing nitride material to form expanded vertical opening, depositing a digit line insulating material in the expanded vertical openings to form digit line deposition spaces, and forming digit lines.

    摘要: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a region of first semiconductor material. The region has an upper surface along a cross-section. The upper surface has a flat-topped peak and a concavity adjacent the flat-topped peak. A pillar of second semiconductor material is over the region and directly against the region. The pillar extends vertically from the upper surface. Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. A construction is formed to have a semiconductor region, and to have an insulative region extending over the semiconductor region and alongside the semiconductor region. A combination of three etches is utilized to expose an upper surface of the semiconductor region and to modify the upper surface of the semiconductor region to form said upper surface to include, along a cross-section, a flat-topped peak portion and an adjacent concavity portion.
