Integrated assemblies having threshold-voltage-inducing-structures proximate gated-channel-regions, and methods of forming integrated assemblies

Abstract:

Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having an active-region-pillar extending upwardly from a base. The active-region-pillar includes a digit-line-contact-region between a first storage-element-contact-region and a second storage-element-contact-region. A threshold-voltage-inducing-structure is adjacent a lower portion of the active-region-pillar. A first channel region includes a first portion of the active-region-pillar between the digit-line-contact-region and the first storage-element-contact-region. A second channel region includes a second portion of the active-region-pillar between the digit-line-contact-region and the second storage-element-contact-region. A first wordline is adjacent the first portion of the active-region-pillar. A second wordline is adjacent the second portion of the active-region-pillar. A digit-line is coupled with the digit-line-contact-region. First and second storage-elements are coupled with the first and second storage-element-contact-regions. A voltage source is coupled with the threshold-voltage-inducing-structure to electrostatically induce a desired threshold voltage along the first and second channel regions.
