Abstract

A semiconductor device includes first, second, and third conductive lines, each with a respective line portion formed over a substrate and extending in a first direction and with a respective branch portion extending from an end of the respective line portion in a direction different from the first direction. The branch portion of a middle conductive line is disposed between and shorter than the respective branch portions of the outer conductive lines such that contact pads may be formed integral with such branch portions of the conductive lines.
