Abstract
Some embodiments include an integrated assembly which has a semiconductor material with a surface. A first layer is over and directly against the surface. The first layer includes oxygen and a first metal. The relative amount of oxygen to the first metal is less than or equal to an amount sufficient to form stoichiometric metal oxide throughout the first layer. A second metal is over and directly against the first layer. A second layer is over and directly against the second metal. The second layer includes nitrogen and a third metal. Some embodiments include an integrated assembly which has a semiconductor material with a surface. A metal is adjacent the surface and is spaced from the surface by a distance of less than or equal to about 10 Å. There is no metal germanide or metal silicide between the metal and the surface.
