Claim 7:
8. A memory array comprising strings of memory cells, comprising:
a conductor tier comprising conductor material;
laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers directly above the conductor tier, conducting material of a lowest of the conductive tiers being directly against the conductor material of the conductor tier, channel-material strings of memory cells extending through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers;
intervening material laterally-between and longitudinally-along immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory blocks; and
the conducting material in the lowest conductive tier being directly against the channel material of individual of the channel-material strings, conductive material of different composition from that of the conducting material above and directly against the conducting material.
