Abstract
A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming a conductor tier comprising conductor material on a substrate. A stack comprising vertically-alternating first tiers and second tiers is formed above the conductor tier. The stack comprises laterally-spaced memory-block regions. Channel-material strings extend through the first tiers and the second tiers. Material of the first tiers is of different composition from material of the second tiers. Spaced insulator-material bodies are formed in and longitudinally-along opposing sides of individual of the memory-block regions in a lowest of the first tiers. After forming the spaced insulator-material bodies, conductive material is formed in the lowest first tier that directly electrically couples together the channel material of individual of the channel-material strings and the conductor material of the conductor tier. Other embodiments, including structure independent of method, are disclosed.
