Abstract
A method of forming an electronic device comprises forming a stack structure comprising vertically alternating insulative structures and additional insulative structures, and forming pillars comprising a channel material and at least one dielectric material vertically extending through the stack structure. The method comprises removing the additional insulative structures to form cell openings, forming a first conductive material within a portion of the cell openings, and forming a fill material adjacent to the first conductive material and within the cell openings. The fill material comprises sacrificial portions. The method comprises removing the sacrificial portions of the fill material, and forming a second conductive material within the cell openings in locations previously occupied by the sacrificial portions of the fill material. Related electronic devices, memory devices, and systems are also described.
