Abstract:
A memory array comprises vertically-alternating tiers of insulative material and memory cells, with the memory cells individually comprising a transistor comprising first and second source/drain regions having a channel region there-between and a gate operatively proximate the channel region. At least a portion of the channel region is horizontally-oriented for horizontal current flow in the portion between the first and second source/drain regions. A capacitor of the memory cell comprises first and second electrodes having a capacitor insulator there-between. The first electrode is electrically coupled to the first source/drain region. A horizontal longitudinally-elongated sense line is in individual of the memory-cell tiers. Individual of the second source/drain regions of individual of the transistors that are in the same memory-cell tier are electrically coupled to the horizontal longitudinally-elongated sense line in that individual tier of memory cells. A capacitor-electrode structure extends elevationally through the vertically-alternating tiers. Individual of the second electrodes of individual of the capacitors are electrically coupled to the elevationally-extending capacitor-electrode structure. An access-line pillar extends elevationally through the vertically-alternating tiers. The gate of individual of the transistors in different of the memory-cell tiers comprises a portion of the elevationally-extending access-line pillar. Other embodiments, including method, are disclosed.

Claim (Index 9):
The array of  claim 8  wherein the capacitor insulator comprises an annulus radially outward of the pillar.
