Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor device structure comprises forming a stack structure comprising stacked tiers. Each of the stacked tiers comprises a first structure comprising a first material and a second structure comprising a second, different material longitudinally adjacent the first structure. A patterned hard mask structure is formed over the stack structure. Dielectric structures are formed within openings in the patterned hard mask structure. A photoresist structure is formed over the dielectric structures and the patterned hard mask structure. The photoresist structure, the dielectric structures, and the stack structure are subjected to a series of material removal processes to form apertures extending to different depths within the stack structure. Dielectric structures are formed over side surfaces of the stack structure within the apertures. Conductive contact structures are formed to longitudinally extend to bottoms of the apertures. Semiconductor device structures, semiconductor devices, and electronic systems are also described.

Claim (Index 10):
The three-dimensional memory device of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n select gates over the stack structure and connected to the vertical strings of memory cells; and select lines electrically coupled to the select gates and the control device.
