Memory arrays comprising strings of memory cells and methods used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells

Abstract

A memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers directly above conductor material of a conductor tier. Channel-material-string constructions extend through the insulative and conductive tiers to a lowest of the conductive tiers. The channel-material-string constructions individually comprise a charge-blocking-material string, a storage-material string laterally-inward of the charge-blocking-material string, a charge-passage-material string laterally-inward of the storage-material string, and a channel-material string laterally-inward of the charge-passage-material string. Conductive material in the lowest conductive tier directly electrically couples together the channel material of individual of the channel-material strings and the conductor material of the conductor tier. The conductive material is laterally-aside and laterally-inward of a laterally-inner sidewall of the charge-blocking-material string. Methods are disclosed.
