Patent ID: 6909128

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: first and second adjacent spaced parallel conductive lines, with each conductive line having a width and a length, wherein the length is greater than the width; and a dielectric layer interposed between, and extending directly over, the first and second parallel spaced conductive lines wherein the dielectric layer comprises an opening therein, wherein in a cross section taken across and perpendicular with the first and second parallel spaced conductive lines, the cross section comprises: a cross sectional area of the first conductive line and of the second conductive line, wherein the cross sectional area of the first conductive line is about equal to the cross sectional area of the second conductive line; and a cross section of the dielectric layer which comprises dielectric material having the opening therein, wherein the opening has a cross sectional area which is about equal to the size and shape of the cross sectional area of each of the first and second conductive lines.
