Zusammenfassung:A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. Individual of the conductive tiers comprise laterally-outer edges comprising conductive molybdenum-containing metal material extending horizontally-along its memory block. Channel-material strings extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. At least one of conductive or semiconductive material is formed extending horizontally-along the memory blocks laterally-outward of the laterally-outer edges comprising the conductive molybdenum-containing metal material that extends horizontally-along its memory block. Insulator material extending horizontally-along the memory blocks is formed laterally-outward of the at least one of the conductive or the semiconductive material that is laterally-outward of the laterally-outer edges comprising the conductive molybdenum-containing metal material. Other embodiments, including structure independent of method, are disclosed.
