Abstract
A microelectronic device comprises a vertical stack of memory cells. The vertical stack of memory cells comprises a vertical stack of access devices, a vertical stack of capacitors horizontally neighboring the vertical stack of access devices, a conductive pillar structure in electrical communication with the vertical stack of access devices, and an isolated conductive structure in electrical communication with a multiplexer comprising a vertically uppermost access device of the vertical stack of access devices. The microelectronic device further comprises a stack structure comprising conductive structures interleaved with insulative structures, at least some of the conductive structures individually in electrical communication with a memory cell of the vertical stack of memory cells and comprising a gate of an access device of the vertical stack of access devices. Related electronic systems and methods are also described.
