Abstract:
A semiconductor device structure comprises stacked tiers each comprising a conductive structure and an insulating structure longitudinally adjacent the at least one conductive structure, at least one staircase structure having steps comprising lateral ends of the stacked tiers, and an opening laterally adjacent a first side of the at least one staircase structure and extending through the stacked tiers and continuously across an entire length of the at least one staircase structure. Conductive structures of the stacked tiers laterally extend from the steps of the at least one staircase structure completely across a second side of the at least one staircase structure opposing the first side to form continuous conductive paths laterally extending completely across the stacked tiers. Additional semiconductor device structures, methods of forming semiconductor device structures, and electronic systems are also described.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein coupling at least one routing structure to the at least one contact structure comprises forming the at least one routing structure to comprise:\n at least one first portion coupled to the at least one contact structure and outwardly laterally extending in a direction oriented perpendicular to the stacked tiers; at least one second portion coupled to the at least one first portion and longitudinally extending through the opening in an additional direction oriented perpendicular to the direction of the at least one first portion; and at least one third portion coupled to the at least one second portion and outwardly laterally extending in another direction oriented perpendicular to the additional direction of the at least one second portion and parallel to the stacked tiers.
