Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises semiconductive pillars; digit lines laterally between the semiconductive pillars; nitride caps vertically overlying the digit lines; nitride structures overlying surfaces of the nitride caps; redistribution material structures comprising upper portions overlying upper surfaces of the nitride caps and the nitride structures, and lower portions overlying upper surfaces of the semiconductive pillars; a low-K dielectric material laterally between the digit lines and the semiconductive pillars; air gaps laterally between the low-K dielectric material and the semiconductive pillars, and having upper boundaries below the upper surfaces of the nitride caps; and a nitride dielectric material laterally between the air gaps and the semiconductive pillars. Memory devices, electronic systems, and method of forming a semiconductor device are also described.
