Abstract:
An integrated circuit comprising:a semiconductor substrate; a node location on the substrate; and a conductive line over the substrate in electrical communication with the node location, the conductive line including an outer portion received elevationally outward of the substrate and including an inner portion in conductive electrical connection with the outer portion along at least a portion of the line, the inner portion being received elevationally outward of the substrate elevationally between the substrate and the outer portion along at least a portion of the line and not being in contact with the node location; the outer portion having a lateralmost end terminus received elevationally outward of the substrate, elevationally over the first portion, proximate the node location, and facing laterally toward the node location; the inner portion extending laterally away from the outer portion terminus generally toward and in electrical communication with the node location.
