Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to passivation material for a pillar adjacent a trench are described. An example method includes forming a passivation material on a top region of a pillar adjacent a trench of a semiconductor device and removing a first portion of the passivation material to form, on a remaining second portion of the passivation material, a surface that is coplanar with an underlying sidewall of the pillar. The example method further includes removing a portion of a substrate material at a bottom region of the trench and removing the remaining second portion of the passivation material from the top region.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device structure comprises forming a stack structure over a substrate, the stack structure comprising tiers each independently comprising a sacrificial structure and an insulating structure and longitudinally adjacent the sacrificial structure. A masking structure is formed over a portion of the stack structure. A photoresist is formed over the masking structure and over additional portions of the stack structure not covered by the masking structure. The photoresist and the stack structure are subjected to a series of material removal processes to selectively remove portions of the photoresist and portions of the stack structure not covered by one or more of the masking structure and remaining portions of the photoresist to form a stair step structure. Semiconductor devices and additional methods of forming a semiconductor device structure are also described.
