Original Abstract Submitted

A microelectronic device comprises a first control logic region comprising first control logic devices and a memory array region vertically overlying the first control logic region. The memory array region comprises capacitors, access devices laterally neighboring and in electrical communication with the capacitors, conductive lines operatively associated with the access devices and extending in a lateral direction, and first conductive pillars operatively associated with the access devices and vertically extending through the memory array region. The microelectronic device further comprises a second control logic region comprising second control logic devices vertically overlying the memory array region. Related microelectronic devices, memory devices, electronic systems, and methods are also described.
