A method of forming a microelectronic device comprises forming a microelectronic device structure comprising a base structure, a doped semiconductive structure comprising a first portion overlying the base structure and second portions vertically extending from the first portion and into the base structure, a stack structure overlying the doped semiconductive structure, cell pillar structures vertically extending through the stack structure and to the doped semiconductive structure, and digit line structures vertically overlying the stack structure. An additional microelectronic device structure comprising control logic devices is formed. The microelectronic device structure is attached to the additional microelectronic device structure to form a microelectronic device structure assembly. The carrier structure and the second portions of the doped semiconductive structure are removed. The first portion of the doped semiconductive structure is then patterned to form at least one source structure coupled to the cell pillar structures. Devices and systems are also described.
