Abstract
Some embodiments include a conductive structure which has a first conductive material having a work function of at least 4.5 eV, and a second conductive material over and directly against the first conductive material. The second conductive material has a work function of less than 4.5 eV, and is shaped as an upwardly-opening container. The conductive structure includes a third conductive material within the upwardly-opening container shape of the second conductive material and directly against the second conductive material. The third conductive material is a different composition relative to the second conductive material. Some embodiments include wordlines, and some embodiments include transistors.
