Abstract
Some embodiments include an integrated structure having stacked conductive levels. At least some of the conductive levels are wordline levels and include control gate regions of memory cells. One of the conductive levels is a vertically outermost conductive level along an edge of the stack. Vertically-extending channel material is along the conductive levels. Some of the channel material extends along the memory cells. An extension region of the channel material is vertically outward of the vertically outermost conductive level. A charge-storage structure has a first region directly between the vertically outermost conductive level and the channel material, and has a second region which extends vertically outward of the vertically outermost conductive level and is along the extension region of the channel material.
