Methods of forming a capacitor structure might include forming a first and second conductive regions having first and second conductivity types, respectively, in a semiconductor material, forming a dielectric overlying the first and second conductive regions, forming a conductor overlying the dielectric, and patterning the conductor, the dielectric, and the first and second conductive regions to form a first island of the first conductive region, a second island of the first conductive region, an island of the second conductive region, a first portion of the dielectric overlying the first island of the first conductive region separated from a second portion of the dielectric overlying the second island of the first conductive region and the island of the second conductive region, and a first portion of the conductor overlying the first portion of the dielectric separated from a second portion of the conductor overlying the second portion of the dielectric.

A 3D memory array includes a row of stacks, each stack having alternating gate strips and dielectric strips. Dielectric plugs are disposed between the stacks and define cell areas. A data storage film and a channel film are disposed adjacent the stacks on the sides of the cell areas. The middles of the cell areas are filled with an intracell dielectric. Source lines and drain lines form vias through the intracell dielectric. The source lines and the drain lines are each provided with a bulge toward the interior of the cell area. The bulges increase the areas of the source line and the drain line without reducing the channel lengths. In some of these teachings, the areas of the source lines and the drain lines are increased by restricting the data storage film or the channel layer to the sides of the cell areas adjacent the stacks.

A method for manufacturing a cured product pattern of a curable composition includes the steps of, in sequence, depositing a droplet of the curable composition onto a substrate; bringing a mold having an uneven pattern formed in a surface thereof into contact with the curable composition; curing the curable composition; and releasing a cured product of the curable composition from the mold. The mold has a recess having a bottom surface and a stair structure arranged to form an opening surface that becomes wider from the bottom surface toward the surface of the mold. In the contact step, the curable composition comes into contact with the stair portion after a top of the droplet comes into contact with the bottom surface.
