Claim 21:
22. An electronic system, comprising:
an input device;
an output device;
a processor device operably coupled to the input device and the output device; and
a memory device operably coupled to the processor device and comprising at least one microelectronic device structure, the at least one microelectronic device structure comprising:
strings of memory cells extending through a first stack structure comprising alternating levels of insulative structures and conductive structures;
a second stack structure vertically overlying the first stack structure comprising alternating levels of additional insulative structures and additional conductive structures;
a first pillar extending through the second stack structure and vertically overlying a first of the strings of memory cells, a center of the first pillar horizontally offset from a center of the first of the strings of memory cells;
a second pillar extending through the second stack structure and vertically overlying a second of the strings of memory cells, a center of the second pillar horizontally aligned with a center of the second of the strings of memory cells;
a channel region extending through the first stack structure and the strings of memory cells, the channel region having a greater thickness between the first stack structure and the second stack structure than at other portions of the channel region; and
a slot structure horizontally neighboring the first pillar, the slot structure comprising a horizontal dimension greater than a horizontal distance between the first of the strings of memory cells and the second of the strings of memory cells.
