Integrated circuits and methods of forming conductive lines and conductive pads therefor

An integrated circuit includes circuitry, a first conductor coupled to the circuitry, a conductive pad coupled to the first conductor, and a second conductor coupled to the conductive pad. The second conductor would be floating but for its coupling to the conductive pad. The second conductor may be...

Summary:An integrated circuit includes circuitry, a first conductor coupled to the circuitry, a conductive pad coupled to the first conductor, and a second conductor coupled to the conductive pad. The second conductor would be floating but for its coupling to the conductive pad. The second conductor may be spaced apart from the first conductor by a distance that is substantially equal to a width of a merged spacer that was formed from a merging of single sidewall spacers over a conductive material from which the first and second conductors were formed.
