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 15):
The method of  claim 14 , wherein:\n the interconnect via structures comprise a first interconnect via structure and a second interconnect via structure that are laterally spaced from each other along a first horizontal direction; the plurality of metal lines comprises a first metal line and a second metal line; line segments within each of the first and second metal lines that laterally extend along the first horizontal direction in the respective serpentine region are arranged in a line and space pattern; the line and space pattern has a minimum pitch along the second horizontal direction; and the minimum pitch is the same as the uniform center-to-center distance of the first lateral extension portions of the first and second metal lines.
