Abstract:
1. A method comprising: forming a plurality of conductive regions substantially in line in a first direction; covering the conductive regions with an insulating layer; selectively removing the insulating layer to form an opening therein, the opening being elongated in the first direction to continuously expose respective parts of the conductive regions; depositing a conductive layer over the insulating layer and in the opening, the conductive layer thereby including a projection correspondently to the opening, the projection including a plurality of contact portions each being in electrical contact with an associated one of the respective parts of the conductive regions; and patterning the conductive layer to form a plurality of interconnection lines separately from each other, each of the interconnection lines crossing the opening of the insulating layer and extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction, and each of the interconnection lines including an associated one of the contact portions of the projection.
