Abstract

An array of vertically stacked tiers of memory cells includes horizontally oriented access lines within individual tiers of memory cells and horizontally oriented global sense lines elevationally outward of the tiers. Select transistors are elevationally inward of the tiers. Pairs of local first and second vertical lines extends through the tiers. One vertical line within individual of the pairs is in conductive connection with one of the global sense lines and in conductive connection with one of the two source/drain regions of one of the select transistors. The second vertical line within individual of the pairs is in conductive connection with another of the two source/drain regions of the one select transistor. Individual of the memory cells include a crossing one of the local second vertical lines and one of the horizontal access lines and programmable material there-between. Other aspects including methods, are disclosed.
