The invention includes BIFETRAM devices. Such devices comprise a bipolar transistor in combination with a field effect transistor (FET) in a three-dimensional stacked configuration. The memory devices can be incorporated within semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) constructions. The base region of the bipolar device can be physically and electrically connected to one of the source/drain regions of the FET to act as a storage node for the memory cell. The semiconductor material of the SOI constructions can comprise Si/Ge, and the active region of the FET can extend into the Si/Ge. The SOI constructions can be formed over any of a number of substrates, including, for example, semiconductive materials, glass, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, metals and/or plastics.
