Abstract
An apparatus comprises a stack comprising an alternating sequence of dielectric structures and conductive structures, a first channel material extending vertically through the stack, and a second channel material adjacent the first channel material and extending vertically through the stack. The first channel material has a first band gap and the second channel material has a second band gap that is relatively larger than the first band gap. The apparatus further comprises a conductive plug structure adjacent to each of the first channel material and the second channel material, and a conductive line structure adjacent to the conductive plug structure. Methods of forming the apparatus, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.
