Abstract: A method used in forming memory circuitry comprises forming transistors individually comprising one source/drain region and another source/drain region. A channel region is between the one and the another source/drain regions. A conductive gate is operatively proximate the channel region. Conductive vias are formed that are individually directly electrically coupled to the another source/drain region. Conductor material is formed that is directly coupled to the one source/drain region. The conductor material is patterned in one direction to form horizontal lines of the conductor material that have a horizontal trench between immediately-adjacent of the horizontal conductor-material lines. In a self-aligned manner, digitlines are formed that are individually in individual of the trenches between the immediately-adjacent conductor-material lines. After forming the digitlines, the conductor material is patterned in another direction that is horizontally angled from the one direction to form conductor vias that are individually directly electrically coupled to the one source/drain region. A plurality of storage elements is formed that are individually directly electrically coupled to individual of the conductor vias. Other aspects, including structure independent of method, are disclosed.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having digit-line-contact-regions between pairs of capacitor-contact-regions. The capacitor-contact-regions are arranged with six adjacent capacitor-contact-regions in a substantially rectangular configuration. Conductive plugs are coupled with the capacitor-contact-regions. Conductive redistribution material is coupled with the conductive plugs. Upper surfaces of the conductive redistribution material are arranged in a substantially hexagonal-close-packed configuration. Digit lines are over the digit-line-contact-regions. Insulative regions are between the digit lines and the conductive plugs. The insulative regions contain voids and/or low-k dielectric material. Capacitors are coupled with the upper surfaces of the conductive redistribution material.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. A construction is formed to include a conductive structure having a top surface, and a pair of sidewall surfaces extending downwardly from the top surface. Insulative material is over the top surface, and rails are along the sidewall surfaces. The rails include sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is removed to leave openings. Sealant material is formed to extend within the openings. The sealant material has a lower dielectric constant than the insulative material. Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a conductive structure with a top surface and a pair of opposing sidewall surfaces extending downwardly from the top surface. Insulative material is over the top surface. Voids are along the sidewall surfaces and are capped by sealant material. The sealant material has a lower dielectric constant than the insulative material.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. A construction is formed to include a structure having an exposed surface, and to include an opening proximate the structure. An aperture extends into the opening. A first material is deposited to form a mass along the exposed surface of the structure. Particles are sputtered from the mass and across the aperture. The particles agglomerate to form a sealant material which traps a void within the opening.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to passivation material for a pillar adjacent a trench are described. An example method includes forming a passivation material on a top region of a pillar adjacent a trench of a semiconductor device and removing a first portion of the passivation material to form, on a remaining second portion of the passivation material, a surface that is coplanar with an underlying sidewall of the pillar. The example method further includes removing a portion of a substrate material at a bottom region of the trench and removing the remaining second portion of the passivation material from the top region.

Abstract: A method of forming an elevationally extending conductor laterally between a pair of conductive lines comprises forming a pair of conductive lines spaced from one another in at least one vertical cross-section. Conductor material is formed to elevationally extend laterally between and cross elevationally over the pair of conductive lines in the at least one vertical cross-section. Sacrificial material is laterally between the elevationally extending conductor material and each of the conductive lines of the pair in the at least one vertical cross-section. The sacrificial material is removed from between the elevationally extending conductor material and each of the conductive lines of the pair while the conductor material is crossing elevationally over the pair of conductive lines to form a void space laterally between the elevationally extending conductor material and each of the conductive lines of the pair in the at least one vertical cross-section.
