Original Abstract Submitted

Implementations described herein relate to various structures, integrated assemblies, and memory devices. In some implementations, a memory device includes multiple memory cells. Each memory cell may include a bottom electrode having an open top cylinder shape that contains a support pillar, may include a top electrode, may include an insulator that separates the top electrode from the bottom electrode, and may include a leaker device having an open top cylinder shape. A bottom surface of the leaker device may abut at least one of a top surface of the bottom electrode or a top surface of the support pillar. A top surface of the leaker device may abut a bottom surface of a conductive plate. The memory device may also include the conductive plate.
