Abstract:
In some embodiments, a method used in forming an array of memory cells comprises uses no more than two photolithographic masking steps are used in forming both: (a) sense lines longitudinally extending in a column direction that are individually directly above and electrically coupled to the upper source/drain regions of multiple of the second pedestals in the column direction; and (b) spaced elevationally-extending vias laterally between immediately-adjacent of the sense lines directly above and electrically coupled to the upper source/drain regions of multiple of the first pedestals. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 14  wherein the second mask comprises insulator material atop the sense lines that remains as part of a finished construction of the array.
