Abstract
A microelectronic device includes a memory array structure and a control circuitry structure vertically overlying and bonded to the memory array structure. The memory array structure includes array regions respectively including memory cells, digit lines, and word lines within horizontal areas thereof. The control circuitry structure includes control circuitry regions, sense amplifier (SA) sections including SA circuitry, and sub-word line driver (SWD) sections including SWD circuitry. The control circuitry regions horizontally overlap the array regions of the memory array structure. The SA sections respectively horizontally overlap each of two of the control circuitry regions horizontally neighboring one another in a first direction. The SWD sections are respectively interposed between two other of the control circuitry regions horizontally neighboring one another in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Additional microelectronic devices, memory devices, and electronic systems are also described.
