Abstract:
An array of elevationally-extending strings of memory cells comprises a vertical stack of alternating insulative levels and wordline levels. The wordline levels have terminal ends corresponding to control-gate regions. Charge-storage material of individual memory cells extend elevationally along individual of the control-gate regions of the wordline levels and do not extend elevationally along the insulative levels. A charge-blocking region of the individual memory cells extends elevationally along the individual control-gate regions of the wordline levels laterally through which charge migration between the individual control-gate regions and the charge-storage material is blocked. Channel material extends elevationally along the stack and is laterally spaced from the charge-storage material by insulative charge-passage material. All of the charge-storage material of individual of the elevationally-extending strings of memory cells is laterally outward of all of the insulative charge-passage material of the individual elevationally-extending strings of memory cells. Other embodiments, including method embodiments, are disclosed.

Claim (Index 29):
An array of elevationally-extending strings of memory cells, comprising:\n a vertical stack of alternating insulative levels and wordline levels, the wordline levels having terminal ends corresponding to control-gate regions; charge-storage material of individual memory cells extending elevationally along individual of the control-gate regions of the wordline levels and not extending elevationally along the insulative levels; a charge-blocking region of the individual memory cells extending elevationally along the individual control-gate regions of the wordline levels; channel material extending elevationally along the stack and being laterally spaced from the charge-storage material by insulative charge-passage material; and all of the charge-storage material of individual of the elevationally-extending strings of memory cells being laterally outward of all of the insulative charge-passage material of the individual elevationally-extending strings of memory cells.
