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 18):
The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:\n forming an additional array of semiconductor devices in an additional array region over the substrate; and forming additional device contact via structures in the additional array region concurrently with formation of the device contact via structures, wherein the additional device contact via structures are electrically connected to a node of a respective one of the semiconductor devices in the additional array of semiconductor devices; wherein: each of the plurality of metal lines includes a respective second lateral extension portion that laterally extends along the first horizontal direction between the additional array region and the peripheral interconnection region with the uniform center-to-center distance in the second horizontal direction; the second lateral extension portion is laterally offset from the first lateral extension portion by a lateral offset distance in each of the plurality of metal lines; and the lateral offset distance is an even number multiple of the uniform center-to-center distance between the first lateral extension portions of the first and second metal lines.
