Abstract:
Some embodiments include a method of forming an assembly (e.g., a memory array). A first opening is formed through a stack of alternating first and second levels. The first levels contain silicon nitride, and the second levels contain silicon dioxide. Some of the silicon dioxide of the second levels is replaced with memory cell structures. The memory cell structures include charge-storage regions adjacent charge-blocking regions. Tunneling material is formed within the first opening, and channel material is formed adjacent the tunneling material. A second opening is formed through the stack. The second opening extends through remaining portions of the silicon dioxide, and through the silicon nitride. The remaining portions of the silicon dioxide are removed to form cavities. Conductive regions are formed within the cavities. The silicon nitride is removed to form voids between the conductive regions. Some embodiments include memory arrays.

Claim (Index 11):
The assembly of  claim 10  wherein the first charge-blocking region comprises silicon dioxide between the silicon oxynitride of the first charge-blocking region and the silicon nitride of the first charge-storage region; and\n wherein the second charge-blocking region comprises silicon dioxide between the silicon oxynitride of the second charge-blocking region and the silicon nitride of the second charge-storage region.
