Abstract
A microelectronic device comprises a stack structure comprising alternating conductive structures and insulative structures arranged in tiers, each of the tiers individually comprising a conductive structure and an insulative structure, strings of memory cells vertically extending through the stack structure, the strings of memory cells comprising a channel material vertically extending through the stack structure, and another stack structure vertically overlying the stack structure and comprising other tiers of alternating levels of other conductive structures and other insulative structures, the other conductive structures exhibiting a conductivity greater than a conductivity of the conductive structures of the stack structure. Related memory devices, electronic systems, and methods are also described.
