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 29):
A method of forming an integrated assembly, comprising:\n forming first conductive structures within an insulative support material, the first conductive structures being a row of regularly spaced features along a cross-section, with the regularly spaced features being spaced along a first pitch along the cross-section; forming protective material over some of the first conductive structures while leaving others of the first conductive structures uncovered by the protective material; the first conductive structures having the protective material formed thereover being protected first conductive structures and the remaining first conductive structures being unprotected first conductive structures; the protected first conductive structures being provided at regular intervals and being along a second pitch along the cross-section, with the second pitch being at least about two-times greater than the first pitch; recessing the unprotected first conductive structures relative to the protected first conductive structures; after the recessing, the protected first conductive structures being tall first conductive structures having first upper surfaces and the unprotected first conductive structures being short first conductive structures having second upper surfaces; removing the protective material; and forming second conductive structures over the first conductive structures; the second conductive structures being spaced along the second pitch along the cross-section; the second conductive structures being electrically coupled to the tall first conductive structures and not being electrically coupled to the short first conductive structures; at least some of the short first conductive structures being directly under the second conductive structures along the cross-section.
