Claim 23:
24. An electronic system, comprising:
a three-dimensional memory device comprising:
a stack structure comprising conductive structures vertically alternating with insulative structures and arranged in tiers;
a series of staircased stadiums defined in a block of the stack structure; and
pairs of step contacts extending, through dielectric material overlying at least one of the stadiums, to mutual ones of the conductive structures defining at least one step of the at least one stadium, each of the mutual ones of the conductive structures individually defining a continuous conductive region across the series of staircased stadiums;

at least one processor in operable communication with the three-dimensional memory device; and
at least one peripheral device in operable communication with the at least one processor.
