Arrays of memory integrated circuitry

An array of memory integrated circuitry formed relative to a semiconductor substrate comprising:

• non-LOCOS semiconductor substrate insulating device isolation blocks provided on and within a semiconductor substrate to provide electrical isolation within the semiconductor substrate between adjacent transistors, the device isolation blocks having an outermost surface positioned elevationally above the semiconductor substrate and having a lowestmost surface received within the semiconductor substrate, the device isolation blocks being laterally spaced from one another within respective substrate recessed moat volume, the device isolation blocks being elongated in a first direction;
• an elongated word line of varying thickness across the array, the word line having a substantially planar upper region within the array, the planar upper region overlying the outermost surface of the device isolation blocks, the word line having gate regions projecting from the substantially planar upper region inwardly to the top of the semiconductor substrate within the respective recessed moat volumes, the word line being elongated in a second direction, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
• source/drain regions within the substrate adjacent the gate regions, the source/drain regions having respective lowestmost portions which are at least elevationally coincident with or elevationally higher within the substrate than the device isolation blocks lowestmost surfaces;
• and
• capacitors and bit lines electrically associated with the source/drain regions.
