Abstract

A method of forming poly silicon comprises forming a first polysilicon-comprising material over a substrate, with the first polysilicon-comprising material comprising at least one of elemental carbon and elemental nitrogen at a total of 0.1 to 20 atomic percent. A second polysilicon-comprising material is formed over the first poly silicon-comprising material. The second polysilicon-comprising material comprises less, if any, total elemental carbon and elemental nitrogen than the first polysilicon-comprising material. Other aspects and embodiments, including structure independent of method of manufacture, are disclosed.
