Claim 21:
22. An electronic device, comprising:
a stack comprising a vertically alternating sequence of conductive structures and insulative structures arranged in tiers; and
pillars extending vertically through the stack, the pillars individually comprising;
a channel material;
a tunnel region laterally adjacent to the channel material;
a storage node laterally adjacent to the tunnel region, a charge confinement region of the storage node in horizontal alignment with the conductive structures of the stack, and a height of an individual conductive structure relatively greater than a height of the charge confinement region laterally adjacent thereto; and
a single dielectric material intervening directly between the storage node and the conductive structures and the insulative structures of the stack, a portion of the single dielectric material intervening directly between vertically neighboring portions of the insulative structures.
