Some embodiments include apparatuses, and methods of forming the apparatuses. Some of the apparatuses include a first group of conductive materials interleaved with a first group of dielectric materials, a pillar extending through the conductive materials and the dielectric materials, memory cells located along the first pillar, a conductive contact coupled to a conductive material of the first group of conductive materials, and additional pillars extending through a second group of conductive materials and a second group of dielectric materials. The second pillar includes a first portion coupled to a conductive region, a second portion, a third portion, and a fourth portion coupled to the conductive contact. The second portion is located between the first and third portions. The second portion of each of the additional pillars is part of a piece of material extending from a first pillar to a second pillar of the additional pillars.
