  • Patent number: 10546862
    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having active-region-pillars extending upwardly from a base. Each of the active-region-pillars has a pair of storage-element-contact-regions, and a digit-line-contact-region between the storage-element-contact-regions. The integrated assembly includes, along a cross-section, a first digit-line-contact-region adjacent a first storage-element-contact-region. The first digit-line-contact-region is recessed relative to the first storage-element-contact-region. A first digit-line is coupled with the first digit-line-contact-region. A second digit-line is laterally offset from the first digit-line. An insulative material is between the first digit-line and the first storage-element-contact-region. A cup-shaped indentation extends into the insulative material and the first storage-element-contact-region. Insulative spacers are along sidewalls of the first and second digit-lines, and include first material.

  • Patent number: 9054216
    Abstract: Trenches are formed into semiconductive material. Masking material is formed laterally over at least elevationally inner sidewall portions of the trenches. Conductivity modifying impurity is implanted through bases of the trenches into semiconductive material there-below. Such impurity is diffused into the masking material received laterally over the elevationally inner sidewall portions of the trenches and into semiconductive material received between the trenches below a mid-channel portion. An elevationally inner source/drain is formed in the semiconductive material below the mid-channel portion. The inner source/drain portion includes said semiconductive material between the trenches which has the impurity therein. A conductive line is formed laterally over and electrically coupled to at least one of opposing sides of the inner source/drain. A gate is formed elevationally outward of and spaced from the conductive line and laterally adjacent the mid-channel portion. Other embodiments are disclosed.
