Abstract:
Conductive structures include stair step structures positioned along a length of the conductive structure and at least one landing comprising at least one via extending through the conductive structure. The at least one landing is positioned between a first stair step structure of the stair step structures and a second stair step structure of the stair step structures. Devices may include such conductive structures. Systems may include a semiconductor device and stair step structures separated by at least one landing having at least one via formed in the at least one landing. Methods of forming conductive structures include forming at least one via through a landing positioned between stair step structures.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of forming a conductive structure, the method comprising:\n defining stair step structures along a length of the conductive structure, each stair step structure comprising at least two conductive steps; at least partially separating each conductive step of the at least two conductive steps from an adjacent conductive step of the at least two conductive steps with insulative material; separating a first stair step structure of the stair step structures and a second stair step structure of the stair step structures along the length of the conductive structure with at least one landing comprising at least one via extending through the conductive structure; and connecting a conductive portion of one conductive step of the at least two conductive steps of the stair step structures and the at least one via extending through the conductive structure with an access line.
