Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first conductive layer formed on a substrate; an insulating interlayer positioned over the first conductive layer, the insulating interlayer having a contact hole, going through the insulating interlayer, that is at least partially disposed directly on the first conductive layer; and a second conductive layer formed on the insulating interlayer, the second conductive layer being electrically coupled to the first conductive layer through the contact hole; the contact hole extending beyond either an edge of the first conductive layer or an edge of the second conductive layer in plan view; the first conductive layer entirely overlapping the contact hole and the second conductive layer partially overlapping the contact hole in plan view; and one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer extending parallel to one another at a predetermined pitch.
