Apparatuses Having Memory Cells with Two Transistors and One Capacitor, and Having Body Regions of the Transistors Coupled with Reference Voltages
Some embodiments include a memory cell with two transistors and one capacitor. The transistors are a first transistor and a second transistor. The capacitor has a first node coupled with a source/drain region of the first transistor, and has a second node coupled with a source/drain region of the second transistor. The memory cell has a first body region adjacent the source/drain region of the first transistor, and has a second body region adjacent the source/drain region of the second transistor. A first body connection line couples the first body region of the memory cell to a first reference voltage. A second body connection line couples the second body region of the memory cell to a second reference voltage. The first and second reference voltages may be the same as one another, or may be different from one another.

3D package having edge-aligned die stack with direct inter-die wire connections
An IC package, comprising a substrate and two or more vertically stacked dies disposed within the substrate, wherein all the edges of the two or more dies are aligned with respect to one another, wherein at least two dies of the two or more vertically stacked dies are coupled directly to one another by at least one wire bonded to the ones of the at least two dies.
Packaged memory device with flip chip and wire bond dies
A memory device includes a substrate, a controller die, a flip chip die, first and second silicon dies, and bond wires. The controller and flip chip dies are attached to the substrate using connection balls and in electrical communication with each other. The first and second silicon dies include respective first and second contact pad surfaces. The bond wires electrically connect the contact pad surfaces to the substrate so the first and second silicon dies communicate with the controller die. The flip chip die and first and second silicon dies are NAND dies, the flip chip die is configured as SLC memory, and the silicon dies are configured as one of MLC memory, TLC memory, or QLC memory.
Compact three-dimensional memory with semi-conductive address line portion
In a compact three-dimensional memory (3D-M.sub.C), a memory array and an above-substrate decoding stage thereof are formed on a same memory level. For the memory devices in the memory array, the overlap portion and the non-overlap portions of the x-line are both highly-conductive; for the decoding device in the above-substrate decoding stage, while the non-overlap portions are still highly-conductive, the overlap portion is semi-conductive.
Compact three-dimensional memory with an above-substrate decoding stage
The above-substrate decoding stage of a compact three-dimensional memory (3D-M.sub.c) could be an intra-level decoding stage, an inter-level decoding stage, or a combination thereof. For the intra-level decoding stage, contact vias can be shared by address-lines in the same memory level; for the inter-level decoding stage, contact vias can be shared by address-lines from different memory levels.

The first and second memory devices are separated by an inter-layer dielectric, and the first via connects the first memory device and the second memory device.
MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH ISOLATION TRENCHES IN UPPER PORTIONS OF TIERED STACKS, AND RELATED METHODS
Methods for forming microelectronic devices include forming lower and upper stack structures, each comprising vertically alternating sequences of insulative and other structures arranged in tiers. Lower and upper pillar structures are formed to extend through the lower and upper stack structures, respectively. An opening is formed through the upper stack structure, and at least a portion of the other structures of the upper stack are replaced by (e.g., chemically converted into) conductive structures, which may be configured as select gate structures. Subsequently, a slit is formed, extending through both the upper and lower stack structures, and at least a portion of the other structures of the lower stack structure are replaced by a conductive material within a liner to form additional conductive structures, which may be configured as access lines (e.g., word lines). Microelectronic devices and structures and related electronic systems are also disclosed.
