Abstract

An apparatus includes fin structures comprising individual levels of a conductive material having elongated portions extending in a first horizontal direction, first conductive lines extending in a second horizontal direction transverse to the first horizontal direction, and second conductive lines extending in a vertical direction transverse to each of the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction. At least portions of the first conductive lines are aligned vertically. The apparatus also includes horizontal capacitor structures comprising the conductive material of the fin structures and access devices proximate intersections of the first conductive lines and the second conductive lines. The access devices comprise the conductive material of the fin structures. Memory devices, electronic systems, and methods of forming the apparatus are also disclosed.
