Claim:
1. An integrated structure, comprising: a conductive line configured of metal-containing material; a select device gate material over the conductive line and spaced from the conductive line by an insulative material; vertically-stacked conductive levels over the select device gate material; vertically-extending monolithic channel material adjacent the select device gate material and the conductive levels; the vertically-extending monolithic channel material containing a lower segment adjacent the select device gate material and an upper segment adjacent the conductive levels; the vertically-extending monolithic channel material being electrically coupled with the conductive line; a first vertically-extending region between the lower segment of the vertically-extending monolithic channel material and the select device gate material; the first vertically-extending region comprising a first material; and a second vertically-extending region between the upper segment of the vertically-extending monolithic channel material and the conductive levels; the second vertically-extending region comprising a vertically-extending material which is different in composition from the first material.
