    Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having an interconnect over a first conductive structure and coupled with the first conductive structure. The interconnect includes a conductive core. The conductive core has a slender upper region and a wide lower region. The upper region joins to the lower region at a step. A liner laterally surrounds the lower region of the conductive core. The liner has an upper surface which is substantially coplanar with the step. An insulative collar is over and directly against both an upper surface of the step and the upper surface of the liner. The insulative collar laterally surrounds and directly contacts the slender upper region. A second conductive structure is over and directly against a region of the insulative collar, and is over and directly against an upper surface of the slender upper region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming electrically conductive lines. Photoresist features are formed over a substrate, with at least one of the photoresist features having a narrowed region. The photoresist features are trimmed, which punches through the narrowed region to form a gap. Spacers are formed along sidewalls of the photoresist features. Two of the spacers merge within the gap. The photoresist features are removed to leave a pattern comprising the spacers. The pattern is extended into the substrate to form a plurality of recesses within the substrate. Electrically conductive material is formed within the recesses to create the electrically conductive lines. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions having a plurality of lines over a semiconductor substrate. Two of the lines are adjacent to one another and are substantially parallel to one another except in a region wherein said two of the lines merge into one another.
