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 3):
The device structure of  claim 1 , wherein:\n 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 segments within the first metal lines are adjoined among one another by a first alternating sequence of first proximal connecting segments and first distal connecting segments, each generally extending along the second horizontal direction; the line segments within the second metal lines are adjoined among one another by a second alternating sequence of second proximal connecting segments and second distal connecting segments, each generally extending along the second horizontal direction; and each neighboring pair of a first proximal connecting segment and a second proximal connecting segment is laterally spaced apart along the first horizontal direction by a minimum lateral separation distance between the first metal lines and the second metal lines between areas of the serpentine regions.
