    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: Methods of forming a semiconductor device structure and sulfur dioxide etch chemistries. The methods and chemistries, which may be plasma chemistries, include use of sulfur dioxide and a halogen-based compound to form a trimmed pattern of a patterning material, such as a resist material, at a critical dimension with low feature width roughness, with low space width roughness, without excessive height loss, and without substantial irregularities in the elevational profile, as compared to trimmed features formed using conventional chemistries and trimming methods.

    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 active-region-pillars extending upwardly from a base. Each of the active-region-pillars has a pair of storage-element-contact-regions, and a digit-line-contact-region between the storage-element-contact-regions. The integrated assembly includes, along a cross-section, a first digit-line-contact-region adjacent a first storage-element-contact-region. The first digit-line-contact-region is recessed relative to the first storage-element-contact-region. A first digit-line is coupled with the first digit-line-contact-region. A second digit-line is laterally offset from the first digit-line. An insulative material is between the first digit-line and the first storage-element-contact-region. A cup-shaped indentation extends into the insulative material and the first storage-element-contact-region. Insulative spacers are along sidewalls of the first and second digit-lines, and include first material. First and second insulative pillars are over the first and second digit-lines, and include second material. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

    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.
