A microelectronic device includes decks comprising alternating levels of a conductive material and an insulative material, the decks comprising pillars including a channel material extending through the alternating levels of the conductive material and the insulative material, a conductive contact between adjacent decks and in electrical communication with the channel material of the adjacent decks, and an oxide material between the adjacent decks, the oxide material extending between an uppermost level of a first deck and a lowermost level of a second deck adjacent to the first deck. Related electronic systems and methods of forming the microelectronic device and electronic systems are also disclosed.
