Abstract
A microelectronic device comprises a first deck structure comprising alternating conductive structures and insulating structures arranged in tiers, each of the tiers individually comprising one of the conductive structures and one of the insulating structures, a second deck structure vertically overlying the first deck structure and comprising additional tiers of the conductive structures and insulative structures, a staircase structure within the first deck structure and having steps comprising edges of the tiers, a dielectric material covering the steps of the staircase structure and extending through the first deck structure, and a liner material interposed between the steps of the staircase structure and terminating at an interdeck region between the first deck structure and the second deck structure. Related microelectronic devices, electronic systems, and methods are also described.
