Claim 12:
13. An electronic system, comprising:
an input device;
an output device;
a processor device operably coupled to the input device and to the output device; and
one or more memory devices operably coupled to the processor device and comprising one or more electronic devices, the one or more electronic devices comprising:
a source contact adjacent to a source stack;
a dielectric material adjacent to the source contact, the dielectric material comprising a doped dielectric material or a high-k dielectric material;
tiers of alternating conductive materials and dielectric materials adjacent to the dielectric material; and
memory pillars extending through the tiers, the dielectric material, and the source contact and partially into the source stack, a portion of the source contact proximal to the memory pillars wider than a portion of the source contact distal to the memory pillars.
