Abstract
Methods for forming a string of memory cells, an apparatus having a string of memory cells, and a system are disclosed. A method for forming the string of memory cells comprises forming a metal silicide source material over a substrate. The metal silicide source material is doped. A vertical string of memory cells is formed over the metal silicide source material. A semiconductor material is formed vertically and adjacent to the vertical string of memory cells and coupled to the metal silicide source material.
