Abstract
Some embodiments include apparatuses. One of the apparatuses includes a conductive structure including a first conductive region under first memory cells, a second conductive region under second memory cells, and a third conductive region between the first and second conductive regions; conductive islands adjacent each other and formed in the third conductive region and separated from the third conductive region; dielectric isolators separating the conductive islands from each other, wherein the conductive islands include a conductive island such that a first portion of the conductive islands is located on a first side of the conductive island, and a second portion of the conductive islands is located on a second side of the conductive island; and the width of the conductive island is greater than the width of at least one conductive island in each of the first and second portions of the conductive islands.
