Abstract: A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming a stack comprising vertically-alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers having channel-material strings therein. Walls are formed above insulating material that is directly above the channel-material strings. Void space is laterally-between immediately-adjacent of the walls and that comprises a longitudinal outline of individual digitlines to be formed. Spaced openings are in the insulating material directly below the void space. Relative to the walls, a conductive metal nitride is selectively deposited in the void space, in the spaced openings, and atop the insulating material laterally-between the walls and the spaced openings to form a lower portion of the individual digitlines laterally-between the immediately-adjacent walls. The conductive metal nitride that is in individual of the spaced openings is directly electrically coupled to individual of the channel-material strings.
