Abstract:
Some embodiments include a method of forming an integrated assembly. Conductive lines are formed to extend along a first direction, and are spaced from one another by a first pitch. Protective knobs are formed over the conductive lines and are arranged in rows. The protective knobs within each row are spaced along a second pitch which is greater than the first pitch. The protective knobs protect regions of the conductive lines while leaving other regions of the conductive lines unprotected. The unprotected regions are recessed so that the protected regions become tall regions and the unprotected regions become short regions. The protective knobs are removed. Conductive structures are formed over the conductive lines. The conductive structures are spaced along the second pitch. Each of the conductive lines is uniquely coupled to only one of the conductive structures. Some embodiments include integrated assemblies.

Claim (Index 25):
An integrated assembly, comprising:\n first conductive structures spaced along a first pitch along a cross-section; the first conductive structures having a first width along the cross-section; second conductive structures over the first conductive structures and spaced along a second pitch along the cross-section, the second pitch being at least about three-times greater than the first pitch; the second conductive structures having a second width along the cross-section which is greater than the first width; each of the second conductive structures being directly over more than one of the first conductive structures along the cross-section; each of the second conductive structures being an isosceles trapezoid along the cross-section; each of the isosceles trapezoids having sidewall edges extending downwardly from a top edge to a bottom edge, with the top edges being wider than the bottom edges; the sidewall edges joining to the top edges at first angles and joining to the bottom edges at second angles, with the second angles being different than the first angels; and each of the second conductive structures being directly against only one of the first conductive structures directly under the second conductive structures along the cross-section; the first conductive structures which are directly against the second conductive structures along the cross-section having first uppermost surfaces directly against the second conductive structures; some of the first conductive structures being directly under the second conductive structures and not being directly against the second conductive structures; said some of the first conductive structures having second uppermost surfaces below the first uppermost surfaces.
