Abstract:
Some embodiments include a memory cell which has, in the following order; a control gate, charge-blocking material, charge-trapping material, a first oxide, a charge-passage structure, a second oxide, and channel material. The charge-passage structure has a central region sandwiched between first and second regions. The central region has a lower probability of trapping charges and/or a lower rate of trapping charges than the first and second regions. Some embodiments include an integrated structure having a vertical stack of alternating conductive levels and insulative levels, and having a charge-passage structure extending vertically along the vertical stack. Some embodiments include a NAND memory array having a vertical stack of alternating insulative levels and wordline levels, and having a charge-passage structure extending vertically along the vertical stack.

Claim (Index 10):
An integrated structure, comprising:\n a vertical stack of alternating conductive levels and insulative levels; charge-blocking material extending vertically along the vertical stack; charge-storage material extending vertically along the charge-blocking material; and a charge-passage structure having opposing first and second sides extending vertically, and having a central region sandwiched between and in direct physical contact with first and second regions, one of the first and second sides consisting of silicon nitride, each of the first region, the second region and central region containing nitrogen; at least one of the first and second regions having an oxygen gradient extending therethrough.
