Abstract
Microelectronic devices include at least one memory cell, each with six transistors collectively comprising six pillars grouped in pillar pairs and formed from a semiconductor material. Each of the pillar pairs includes a first and a second pillar. Gate electrodes are also included, with each gate electrode extending between and horizontally around a portion of the first pillar and a portion of the second pillar of a respective one of the pillar pairs. Conductive structures are electrically coupled to the six pillars. At least one of the conductive structures is in physical contact with more than one of the pillars of the microelectronic device. Related methods and electrical systems are also disclosed.
