Zusammenfassung: | A memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises laterally-spaced memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers above a conductor tier. Strings of memory cells comprise channel-material strings that extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers in the memory blocks. The channel-material strings directly electrically couple to conductor material of the conductor tier. Intervening material is laterally-between and longitudinally-along immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory blocks. The intervening material comprises a laterally-outer insulative lining extending longitudinally-along the immediately-laterally-adjacent memory-blocks. The laterally-outer insulative lining has its lowest surface between a top and a bottom of the lowest conductive tier. The laterally-outer insulative lining has its highest surface at or below a lowest surface of the next-lowest conductive tier. Laterally-inner insulating material extends longitudinally-along the immediately-laterally-adjacent memory blocks laterally-inward of the laterally-outer insulative lining. An interface is between the laterally-outer insulative lining and the laterally-inner insulating material. Methods are also disclosed. |
