Abstract:
A device structure includes an array of semiconductor devices located in an array region over a substrate, metal lines laterally extending from the device region to a peripheral interconnection region, and interconnect via structures located in the peripheral interconnection region, and contacting a portion of a respective one of the plurality of metal lines. The metal lines include a first metal line and a second metal line each having a serpentine region which contacts a respective interconnect via structure.

Claim (Index 2):
The device structure of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the interconnect via structures comprise a first interconnect via structure and a second interconnect via structure; each of the first and second metal lines includes a respective first lateral extension portion that laterally extends along a first horizontal direction between the array region and the peripheral interconnection region with a uniform center-to-center distance to another one of the first and the second metal lines in a second horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction; and each of the first and second metal lines includes a respective serpentine region in which each of the first and second metal lines generally propagates along a second horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction with periodic lateral protrusions in the first horizontal direction with a periodicity that is twice the uniform center-to-center distance.
