Claim Text:
1. A method of forming a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a first insulating layer over a conductive via, the first insulating layer having a first plurality of openings exposing the conductive via, wherein the conductive via is a single conductive element; forming a first conductive line extending through the first plurality of openings to the conductive via, the first conductive line extending over the first insulating layer between adjacent ones of the first plurality of openings; forming a second insulating layer over the first conductive line, the second insulating layer having a first opening exposing the first conductive line, the first opening being interposed between adjacent ones of the first plurality of openings in a plan view; and forming a second conductive line extending through the first opening to the first conductive line.
