Abstract
A microelectronic device comprises vertical stacks of memory cells, each of the vertical stacks of memory cells comprising a vertical stack of access devices, a vertical stack of capacitors horizontally neighboring the vertical stack of access devices, and a conductive pillar structure in contact with the vertical stack of access devices. The microelectronic device further comprises transistor structures vertically overlying the vertical stacks of memory cells and comprising semiconductive material, and a protective liner material horizontally intervening between the semiconductive material and the conductive pillar structure of each of the vertical stacks of memory cells. Related methods are also described.
