Abstract
A method of forming an array of gated devices includes forming a plurality of semiconductor material-comprising blocks individually projecting elevationally from a substrate and spaced from one another along rows and columns. A gate line is formed laterally proximate each of two opposing sidewalls of the blocks along individual rows of the blocks. After forming the gate lines, semiconductor material of the blocks is removed laterally between the gate lines to form pairs of pillars from the individual blocks that individually have one of the gate lines laterally proximate one of two laterally outermost sidewalls of the pair and another of the gate lines laterally proximate the other of the two laterally outermost sidewalls of the pair. Other methods are disclosed.
