Abstract
A semiconductor memory wiring method includes: receiving a substrate having a cell array region and a peripheral circuit region; depositing a first insulating layer on the substrate; forming a first contact plug in the cell array region, the first contact plug having a first conductive material extending through the first insulating layer; forming a first elongated conductive line at substantially the same time as forming the first contact plug, the first elongated conductive line having the first conductive material directly covering and integrated with the first contact plug; forming a second contact plug in the peripheral circuit region at substantially the same time as forming the first contact plug, the second contact plug having the first conductive material extending through the first insulating layer; and forming a second elongated conductive line at substantially the same time as forming the second contact plug, the second elongated conductive line having the first conductive material directly covering and integrated with the second contact plug.
