  • Publication number: 20250072014
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a resistor device includes forming a stepped trench in a substrate, and forming an etch stop material within the stepped trench. An electrically resistive material is disposed within the stepped trench, and an electrically insulating material is disposed on the electrically resistive material. The method further includes repeating the disposing the electrically resistive material and the disposing the electrically insulating material operations a predetermined number of times.

  • Patent number: 12148789
    Abstract: Stacks of electrically resistive materials and related apparatuses, electrical systems, and methods are disclosed. An apparatus includes one or more resistor devices including a substrate, first and second electrically resistive materials, and an electrically insulating material between the first and second electrically resistive materials. The substrate includes a semiconductor material. A stepped trench is defined in the substrate by sidewalls and horizontal surfaces of the semiconductor material. The first electrically resistive material and the second electrically resistive material are within the stepped trench.

  • Publication number: 20240282858
    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a first gate operatively adjacent a channel region, a first source/drain region on a first side of the channel region, and a second source/drain region on an opposing second side of the channel region. The first source/drain region is spaced from the channel region by an intervening region. The first and second source/drain regions are gatedly coupled to one another through the channel region. A second gate is adjacent a segment of the intervening region and is spaced from the first gate by an insulative region. A lightly-doped region extends across the intervening region and is under at least a portion of the first source/drain region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

  • Patent number: 11848048
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory device decoder configurations are described. A memory device may include an array of memory cells and decoder circuits. The array may include one or more memory cells coupled with an access line, and a decoder circuit may be configured to bias the access line to one or more voltages. The decoder circuit may include a first transistor coupled with the access line and a second transistor coupled with the access line. The first transistor may be a planar transistor having a first gate electrode formed on a substrate, and the second transistor may be a trench transistor having a second gate electrode that extends into a cavity of the substrate, where a length of a first gate electrode may be greater than a length of the second gate electrode.
