Abstract
A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit includes forming landing pads in an array region of a substrate, individual ones of the landing pads being electrically coupled to individual ones of portions of devices formed in the substrate in the array region. The method also includes forming wiring lines within a peripheral region of the substrate. Forming the landing pads and forming the wiring lines includes a common lithographic process being effective in both the array and peripheral regions. The wiring lines and the landing pads of the integrated circuit are self-aligned.
