Abstract
Microelectronic devices include a stack structure with a vertically alternating sequence of insulative structures and conductive structures arranged in tiers. Conductive contact structures extend through the stack structure. An insulative material is between the conductive contact structures and the tiers of the stack structure. In a lower tier portion of the stack structure, a conductive structure, of the conductive structures, has a portion extending a first width between a pair of the conductive contact structures. In a portion of the stack structure above the lower tier portion, an additional conductive structure, of the conductive structures, has an additional portion extending a second width between the pair of the conductive contact structures. The second width is greater than the first width. Related methods and electronic systems are also disclosed.
