Abstract

Some embodiments include an assembly having conductive structures distributed along a level within a memory array region and another region proximate the memory array region. The conductive structures include a first stack over a metal-containing region. A semiconductor material is within the first stack. A second stack is over the conductive structures, and includes alternating conductive tiers and insulative tiers. Cell-material-pillars are within the memory array region. The cell-material-pillars include channel material. The semiconductor material directly contacts the channel material. Conductive post structures are within the other region. Some of the conductive post structures are dummy structures and have bottom surfaces which are entirely along an insulative oxide material. Others of the conductive post structures are live posts electrically coupled with CMOS circuitry. Some embodiments include methods of forming assemblies.
