Abstract
Integrated circuitry includes a semiconductive substrate, an insulative material over the semiconductive substrate, and a series of alternating first and second conductive lines, the first and second lines being spaced and positioned laterally adjacent one another over the insulating layer. At least some of the laterally adjacent conductive lines may have different cross-sectional shapes in a direction perpendicular to the respective line. Alternatively, or in addition, individual second series conductive lines may be spaced from adjacent first series conductive lines a distance that is less than a minimum width of the first series lines.
