Abstract
Implementations described herein relate to various structures, integrated assemblies, and memory devices. In some implementations, an integrated assembly includes a cell plate, a pillar that includes a bottom electrode and a leaker device on top of the bottom electrode, and a top electrode. The top electrode includes a first top electrode portion and a second top electrode portion. The first top electrode portion is separated from the bottom electrode by the leaker device. The second top electrode portion is separated from the bottom electrode and the leaker device by an insulator. The leaker device is configured to discharge excess charge from the bottom electrode to the cell plate via the first top electrode portion.
